Distinguishing Real from Reproduction Pieces
Look for tiny bubbles on the surface of the glass.
Check the piece very closely, and look at it from all angles. If it is a real piece of depression glass, there will be a scattering of small bubbles. The bubbles are about the size of a full stop at the end of a sentence. Replica pieces of depression glass do not have this distinguishing flaw.
Check the base of the piece for small lines.
Turn the piece upside down, and look closely at the base. Long, thin lines running in a similar direction indicate that the glass is true depression glassware. When the glassware was manufactured during the Depression, each piece would be dried while resting on straw. The thin lines show where the straw slightly molded the glass.
Find seam lines, especially around lid pieces of glassware.
Check around the edges of the lid. Look for a slight, overlapping ridge on the glass. Reproduction pieces of depression glassware pieces do not have seam lines.
Search for scratches on the glassware.
Some pieces of depression glassware are almost a century old, which means that it is normal for them to show signs of wear and tear. Depression glass was designed to be used every day during its time, so finding many scratches on the glassware is a good indication that it is a real piece. Real depression glass is very thin and delicate, which means that it is prone to being scratched.
