Real or fake? Sunburst flask in bright apple green

I'm borrowing pictures for educational purposes.
Good? (If this is fake, it would fool me)

Not good? Just looks not right. It's the sunburst in the center that really bothers me, but It just doesn't look right. Too wide? When I compare those 2, the 2nd one just doesn't... compare, that is.

 

[pyshodoodle]

OK - bubbles in the lip. This one looks old to me.

 

[pyshodoodle]

This one doesn't. Can anybody clarify this or tell me if I'm off base? I'm definitely still learning. But the long stretched out bubbles on the last picture really look more like what I expect in old glass.

 

[RedGinger]

I agree. The first one has bubbles, but they look fake.

 

[pyshodoodle]

There're a lot of differences when you compare these two that I just can't put into words. Just the way the glass looks different when you look through it... does that make sense?

 

[RedGinger]

Your "real" one is cloudier and looks more authentic. I hear you about the bubbles too. First one just looks to perfect.

I thought it was fake when I posted, but wanted "expert" opinion before I opened my trap. Thanks guys. Love this place.

What really amazes me is that this is a prominent collector/seller. It is a very misleading auction, it is listed under antique bottles, so I have to believe that the high bidders think it is the real deal. If you ask, you get the correct answer it is not an authentic period flask but an 1920 Spanish piece, but the answer will not be posted in the auction listing. Is this is an outward attempt to deceive? I cannot comprehend how someone with such a stellar reputation can do this. I have always held this dealer in the highest regard, now I don't know what to think. I do know that I want to email the winning bidder at the end to let them know, none of my business really, but I can't stand to see someone taken that way. What do you all think, should I email them or just let it go?? ....Bill

I think you should report it to ebay. Not that they will do anything, but is should still be done. This is fraud since it's not listed correctly.
Why would anyone spend that much money without knowing what they're bidding on? I say email the high bidder. Wish you could warn them all now, but a fool & his money are soon parted.
