    Last known Asian repro was in the late 90s. That's the one shown above in black. I've been told that new molds are being made by computer. Can be replicated by machine using a 3D original piece. Cost about $5,000. Not verified as far as I know. What would a piece like this sell for in a gift shop? $25., $34.95?

    What would it sell for in an antique store.?

    Darn, I know I've seen that finish somewhere but can't pull it out of whatever part of my memory it's hiding in. It's rather like an oil spot in a puddle.

    It does look like a stain finish :writer:

    I come late to this elephant.... I don't think anyone's mentioned it, but the color is applied. There's no way pressed glass can be colored like that without it being applied as a stain.

    If this has been discussed, sorry, I missed it.


    Marie beat me to it.

    Jivvy the research is my favorite

    Is it possible some Pinterest Crafter has gotten after it? It looks a lot like a popular crafting technique that uses alcohol inks.
