Thanks to the sharp eye of a regular reader, I can convey to you that this is a reproduction made during the 1990s by Seasons Gone By. Notice the flat bottom - an easy red flag for collectors as authentic vintage items have a ring pressed into the bottom.
Fakes, etc.
I'll begin populating this page with photos of reproductions, fakes and fantasy items as I see them listed on eBay, Etsy and other such sites. Hopefully, collectors will refer to this page to minimize the occasions reproductions, fakes and fantasy items are unknowingly purchased. If you see something on this page that was sold to you purporting to be a vintage item, immediately send it back for a full refund.
