[QUOTE="Ghopper1924, post: 9813976, member: 5170"]Reproductions became very common from the 70s forward. The Romanian versions will also say “tip” (“type”) somewhere on the piece. They were good quality versions, but not at the same level of execution as the originals. Yours seems like a reproduction. The decorative detail is not as subtle and nuanced as one would expect from an original, the neck contour seems “wobbly,” and the top edge seems sharper rather than rounded as one finds in the genuine article. Also keep in mind that dealers can be fooled like the rest of us. Nevertheless, if you didn’t pay too much for this it’s a nice and perfectly serviceable cameo vase. Fakes are now just as common as originals or more so. We all hope for a bargain, but what usually happens is you get what you pay for (if you’re lucky) and Galle vases are pricey.[/QUOTE]
