Another Expensive (Fake?) Nevada Bottle

[sunrunner]

this are not bad as bottles go , but should never be past off as an historic artifact . people familiar with true antique pottery should not be fooled by this unless the forger is really good.

Looks like the seller/scammer may have been at the recent Chattanooga show. Take a look at this photo and the fellow's listings that he is currently selling: http://www.fohbc.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Show_Pottery.jpg http://www.ebay.com/itm/WONDERFUL-BLUE-AND-GREY-STONEWARE-BANK-WITH-COBALT-BLUE-BIRD-/252072295037?hash=item3ab0adfa7d

I had this bottle on my watch list, not sure if these two were from the same seller but they seem similar in manufacture and the incised lettering is similar as well.

I would bet my arm those come from the same source. That Texas one brought good money if I remember correctly.

The North Clifton sold for $1500.00 if I remember correctly

Heres another. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Super-Rare-Loretto-Kentucky-1-2-Gal-Whisky-Jug-/252073568214?hash=item3ab0c167d6 He sure has alot of these different jugs, ect. How does one person come across so many different ones & acts like he knows nothing about them & can't stand by dates or authenticity? Seems suspicious. LEON.

I bet he is a scammer, it really sucks for the people who bought it and think they have a good item.

hay guys if you check out my site you will see pottery bottles I make for a gift shop in Savannah , the bottles are made to look historic but that's about all.

I hope you mark the bottoms as reproductions or fakes or somehow, because they look like the real thing, and maybe you wouldn't pass them off, but I bet some scammer would.........Andy

That's always been a concern of mine too. What happens later?
