[QUOTE="Finnclouds, post: 9728315, member: 84680"]Thanks, Owned! I knew styles were and are copied extensively in pretty much everything, but couldn’t really see the point of exactly reproducing something like this vase, unless there was a monetary incentive. Like there is in e.g. faking Russian silver or designer clothes in order to deceive the buyer into believing the item was way older or more valuable or better quality than it is. So when might the vase have been made? Exact 19th C replica? I would’ve thought the seventies unlikely. Being modern and innovative was such a big thing in MMC glass in Finland, at least, that copying known old forms would’ve been unlikely. Not knowing anything about old glass, I would’ve therefore started by looking for the maker in places where the modern copies are made. P.S. I hope the Bear is still going strong.[/QUOTE]
