FAKE
Of Roseville "Laurel"
(At left) - No marks. (The genuine item was not
marked either.)
- Colors not right.
- Clay is wrong.
Too light in weight, but far better than repros
being made today.
|
|
At right: "I wanted to send you a picture
of the vase I just bought at a local flea market
for $5....high gloss maroon color. Again, the clay
is not right (much whiter) and it is somewhat
lighter in weight than what a piece 8.5" high, as
this one is, would weigh if made of typical
Roseville clay." - from Carol at
cthulhu@ot.com (7/2/99)
