<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TallCakes, post: 497509, member: 107&quot;]FWIW, if you look thru he various images on &quot;R&quot; you&#039;ll find an Imperial Glass label attached. I haven&#039;t personally been able to find any catalog confirmation of IG or VP.</p><p><br /></p><p>I do recall a past thread referencing GinaGlavin.com as perhaps some sort of definitive attribution to VP. I contacted that reference for some definitive way to differentiate between the supposedly separate designs and the response was nothing definitive, but what seems mostly vague observations to me. Here&#039;s that response: <i>&quot;Thank You for your inquiry and also checking out my website.&nbsp; Your question is a topic I’ve been meaning to blog about.&nbsp; The best way I know is mostly by the color, and thickness of the stem.&nbsp; The color of Imperial is a little more faded and a little bit lighter blue then the French Opaline.&nbsp; Also, the stem is a little bit more “squatty” or shorter and also slightly chunkier.&nbsp; Hope this helps out and keep following me for a more comprehensive article to address your question!&quot;</i></p><p><br /></p><p>Maybe &quot;R&quot; has some definitive data to support their extensive listings (other than that affixed label); they certainly do not show any similar design attributed to VP in their listings.</p><p><br /></p><p>Personally, as I&#039;ve noted before, considering the quantity of listings that show up on these stems it&#039;s much easier to accept the IG attribution with the c1962-66 date put forth by &quot;R&quot;...</p><p><br /></p><p>anyone ever seen any of these with the VP mark included, as they were often pretty good at using that mark...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
