Cherry Blossom Depression Glass - Real or Repo Knowing if your Cherry Blossom Depression Glass is real or repo can be frustrating! Here's a few tips breaking down the different ways to help figure it out.
are armed with just a few ways to tell if your Cherry Blossom is real or a repo, especially your butter dish. As time goes on you will learn the feel of the glass and be able to tell maybe by that alone! If you’re not sure however it’s better to pass up a piece than to pay too much for a reproduction. Even when I know there is not a reproduction of a piece I’ve had times where it just didn’t feel right to me so I pass it up. I’ve made some big mistakes but on the other hand I need to please myself first in buying glass.
Take your new found knowledge and test it out. However, until you’re sure you have perfected it don’t tell people their dish is a repo until you do. Some will take you at your word and some will never believe you no matter what you say to convince them. I refer back to the famous quote “this came from an estate that the woman was in her 90’s, it must be real!” Now you know the truth!
