I believe this item was made anytime during or after 1995. The fake craquelure is way overdone and is the big tip-off, along with the blank look so characteristic of the soulless fakes the Germans began cranking out then.
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.
