Cool pinkish bottle with stopper, pontil and handblown. HELP!

yeah, I just read an article that makes me start to believe it could really be a fake now. The seeding is too elaborate it sounds like... Gonna take more pics

could really be a fake now

I'm not crazy about that word for something like that. It's just probably not really old. Fakes are meant to deceive and yours is just different, which isn't a bad thing.

OK, I am starting to get your drift. What is considered a fake then? Anything after a certain date? Where do we draw the line between fake or the real deal? What are significant signs?

Fake = a bottle (like the Clevenger E.G. Booz reproduction bottles) that was made to fool people into thinking it is genuinely old
Decorative = a bottle like yours that was made to be unique and look nice

Since both are (usually) made to look old, it can be difficult to determine whether a piece is genuine or not. If I'm not 100% sure it's real, I just don't risk buying it, no matter the price.

That's no way to live.[] Beside, when you like something it really doesn't matter. If final profit is the main goal than erring on the side of caution is OK but you can loose a lot also.

I seem to only like things that were never faked, for example, blobs, hutches, and other soda/beer type bottles. That and local bottles. So in that way, I'm protected from buying a fake/modern piece.

Hey Cheryl,

Sorry that my "word" choice disturbs you. Clearly, you're not teaching photography, nor English. What trade do you teach, if I may be so bold?

No need to call me "Charlie," either. I was endeavoring, in what I thought to be a polite way, to tell you about your bottle. Guess I should have kept my thoughts to myself.

LOL... not at all. I am a bodacious woman and I don't keep my thoughts to myself. LOL...
