My opinion is this is NOT right and a reproduction of some sort. It just doesn't look right.
1/2 pint cobalt eagle

Then there's this Urn/Cornucopia from the same guy, and it looks all wrong to me too.
Urn/Cornucopia

Finally, same seller again, is this complete ball faced lie of a description.
junk

He has some nice ones listed too, but what do you all make of these?

Got a great belly laugh on viewing all three. Baby Buddha genuflects.Take a couple hits of high octane lysergic acid diethylamide tartrate-25, and after 45 microsporatic cerebral mind-thunk palpitations of the grand poo-bah kitty litter catbox of cognitive recitation you'll believe Barack Obama is the Father of Invention.

The 3rd one must be real, it's privy dug.
The corn urn might be the one discussed in AB&F. Spanish made for Pairpoint or some other. I think Italy made some too. Hurray!!! No picking on the Mexicans. Just so I'm fair though it could be German. I can pick on me (well, about half of me) I think.
The eagle just doesn't land at all.

In my opinion, all three of those pieces are fake. None of them have that "old" glass look to them that these flasks or this type glass normally would.

Just my opinion though.... I guess they could be real....?
