Be sure your depression glass purchase is not a fake

There are a lot of new sellers that can be either not know what they are selling or buy in lots off the internet of depression glass reproductions.Sometimes they think they have an old piece when its in reality a new one.The wear marks on the bottom are one way to determine if its a fake,if they are true wear marks the wear should be in a fan like pattern , if someone has tried to agea new piece the marks will usually be back and forth like you are scrubbing a pot clean. Another way is the mold marks,old glass is not regular and will always have some slight imperfections ,such as bubbles in the glass and the handles may not be as straight as new glassware.Sometimes the new glass will have different shades of say pink or green than the older pieces,new glass the color will be alighter shade .Older glass is also heavier.The best way to make sure you are getting a true piece of depression glassis to buy from an experienced seller who has excellent feedback and a good detailed description.Hope this helps everyone in their future purchases.
