Now, I know some of you reading this think that you have still no "fake" Waterford crystal in your display cabinet and I really don't want to alert but fill me on some of the facts.
Did you know that during the 80s and 90s years several companies in the United States and Europe were down by the FBI for making fake Waterford crystal pieces? Most copied designs were the popular patterns of Lismore, Colleen, Alana, Kathleen. I have seen other patterns to copied.This was usually glazed. for example, mug, flutes, hocks, white wine and aufgespriteten.
Bowls, vases, decanter and mostly individual beads were in production beteiligt.Jedes piece with a tribe was fair game for this Unternehmen.Es is counterfeiting nor how many pieces of wrong Waterford are undetermined in circulation in the United States, but it is said in the millions have run.
Do on a Google search: NY Times counterfeit fake of Irish Waterford and see a report.
Hardly these companies would be shut down if another under a different name würde.Dies was a very lucrative business and is still to a certain extent in the market today. Because of all the recent events in Waterford crystal appear it more often as time goes by more of these is fakes Waterford crystal.
A few years ago, I made a show in Virginia, a little old lady came to me and asked if I could fix a Waterford Bowl which was lined. Had this piece for several years, her daughter had bought it from a major department store, I'll mention name here.
When looking at the Bowl I told her I could repair it, but it wasn't Waterford crystal, and that it should return you to the store. Two months later I had a call from the Dept store manager explaining he had to buy Waterford fakes, which deceived been and was unknowingly resell.
The very first thing you should look at all Lismore designs is the Stem.stellen sure that the pages of stem be cut and not empty.Based on the stem should see, it with a sixteen point star, aka burst as a star cut.The end of the points should be about a quarter inch based, but sometimes these will vary because of the forms and blown up like you.
If these companies was the "fake" fake Waterford crystal were produced, and if you did had no way of flat section of the stem on cups, flutes, etc.?It was a bad effort, which left called waves and ridges and sometimes rough spots carborundum strips.So essentially trying to avoid them flat cutting the side of the stem überhaupt.Ich also you've seen, with no star bursts that tell you immediately that you are not Waterford.
