<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TallCakes, post: 103890, member: 107&quot;]the reissue/reproduction labels can be a bit murky at best and some folks seem to use the terms interchangeably. Then there are intentional fakes. My understanding of each is:</p><p><br /></p><p>reissue: glass issued by the original manufacturer at a date removed from the original issuance. Reissues may be different colors or finishes not included in the original issue. Some manufacturers even added forms that were not part of the initial line as part of the reissued lines.</p><p><br /></p><p>reproduction: glass made by other than the original manufacturer using original molds. If the original mfg had a maker&#039;s mark in the mold that mark is removed. Reproductions may also sometimes include forms not part of the original line. Reproductions can also be from new molds that are tooled to imitate the original and are typically clearly marked as a reproduction pieces: commissioned MMA by Imperial Glass and HFM by Fostoria come to mind as intentional copies of older patterns clearly marked so not to be misrepresented as forgeries.</p><p><br /></p><p>fakes: forgeries using new molds or even original molds made with the intent to deceive by attempting to make new glass look like old glass.</p><p><br /></p><p>some folks probably have other names and definitions as well...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
