Fulper Pottery Reproductions Alert!

Items shown below have been provided by AAPA member, and are part of the AAPA traveling exhibit of Fakes.

FAKE Fulper Vase This item's photos were sent by an unsuspecting buyer, who thought she was purchasing an authentic Fulper vase at an auction.  This vase is all wrong beginning with the mark.  The Fulper 'racetrack mark' is always well-defined, not crude as this mark is.  The clay is red, not yellow or buff.  The glaze is nothing like a true Fulper glaze, even though it does have some nice 'drippy' characteristics. While Fulper did have forms with loop handles, they did not produce pieces with curly Q's.  We have no idea about the country of origin, but it was not produced by the Fulper Pottery. 

Photo color modified to accent Vasekraft mark as much as possible. (Fulper mark not visible in this photo.)

FAKE Fulper

  • Fulper-esque in shape, but undocumented.
  • Marked with vertical Fulper in rectangle, and circular Vasekraft mark, both marks ink-stamped over-glaze instead of under-glaze.
