• Reproductions are heavier, less crisp and thicker than the originals.

• There is no presence of lead content found in reproductions, so when the glass is "pinged" or tapped, the sound will be dull.  As the originals have lead content, then if you were to ping the glass, there will be a long and musical tone, which is the indication for lead in glass.

• Reproductions do tend to be more brilliant in colour, and lack the old look of glass.

• Majority of coloured examples seen are Reproductions, but originals were made in Milk Glass, Cobalt Blue, Vaseline, Clambroth and Amethyst.  All these colours are with lead content (flint) and extremely rare!
