<p>[QUOTE="KikoBlueEyes, post: 3898534, member: 8363"]Except for someone putting a large neon sign above a piece telling me what it is, I still struggle telling real older commercial glass pieces from reproductions. Nothing about the feel of this heavy amber glass pitcher says cut. Except for the thumbprint? cuts on the handle, the piece is smooth. There is an unpolished seam where the handle is attached, though. The base, which is concave, has age related scratch marks along the small edge that meets the table. There is no mark. It is very heavy at almost 4 lbs. It is 8 1/2 inches to the top of the ruffled rim and it is 4 inches in diameter. I would very much appreciate any comments. I want to learn how to spot the good stuff.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]320886[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]320888[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]320889[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]320890[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]320891[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
