The Fakes - Page 3

UPDATED AUGUST 2007

Page 3

We continue to expand and have decided to retain the photos of past fakes so as to keep a reference library. Many of the fakes offered months, weeks and days ago are relisted again and again.

Remember we are selling nothing, offering no services, reccomending nobody and have no interest in knowing your e mail address. We are a totally free service devoted to stopping the sale of fake and fraudulent pieces of Tiffany Studios.

On the left is all of the signs of a scam in the making. The base and the shade are both fakes. The seller KURZOLG has a positive feedback of 12 - 2 are PRIVATE, 2 were removed and 7 were for purchases of items with a price of $.01. He offers no guarantee and there is already one bid. You have to wonder what the bidder is thinking about.

BLUEWOLFIE

The pictures above are of a 2 vases - one listed by seller BLUEWOLFIE -7413620644 - as a Tiffany vase circa 1897. In the listing the seller references a site where you would expect to find a Tiffany expert but instead you find a writer who claims no significant knowledge of Tiffany and has managed to list the dates and some of the marks that might be found on Tiffany glass. What can be told from the pictures is that the signature is most likely a fake. Had the writer read further, she would have discovered that Tiffany and the people who signed real pieces for Tiffany signed the pieces is a counter clockwise fashion. Now we have what might have been a real vase with a fake - very obvious fake - signature. How can you determine the real value and what do you do with a fake signature. The other one is also offered for sale but the seller indicates that it might be a fake. She is correct. It is a fake.

ESTATEDOCTOR

Tiffany did not make paperweights like these and the seller on the left is a long time seller of fakes. He says he gets them from estates but they come from a reproduction house.

This fake lamp is back for the third time and it is still a fake. The price has been lowered but look carefully at the blotched signature and the low quality. This time the seller is using the PRIVATE feature.
