[QUOTE="bluemoon, post: 151450, member: 1296"][USER=37]@verybrad[/USER] The seems appear at least similar. A couple of vertical lines are out of alignment just enough for it to be visible and then suddenly the rest of them match, but there is a slight depression where the seem goes. The seem is right at (or ever so slightly below, not sure) the tightest part of the hole where the walls come 'inwards' before spreading out towards the base and the little "pool" in the bottom of the urn (see pictures below) If they are reproductions, then circa what? They can't be brand new due to the lichen and the very rough inner side of the urns. I would think very new ones would have smooth interior? These were sold to me as "19th century urns" so words can't describe how let down and sad I am to have paid a lot of money for likely reproductions ONCE AGAIN. It really seems impossible to find anything that's not either fake or been tampered with.. and then people ask me "Why do you always get rid of things that you just bought?"
