Don't be FOOLED!

Glazed bottom

Crudely formed ear

Numerous customers have inquired of us about a crock recently seen on an internet auction. 

Yes, it is a reproduction. It will "ring" like fine china when struck. Also the interior and exterior will have a ribbed appearance & not smooth as original 19th century pottery. We have seen a similar items available from the "Repo Depot" in Montgomery, NY. This company was in business before the days of the internet in the 1980's. They published a CATALOG and also advertised in all the antiques publications.

Any representation can be made when there is no warranty or credibility involved in it's sale. Buyer beware!

If you have any "Mistakes" in your own collection, we would like to have a photo so we can add it to our "reproduction library."

As a service to our customers, we feel it is important to help educate when we can. Keeping the public aware of fakes is one way we feel we can help.

Here's a piece we recently saved a customer from buying.
The date should say 1976!

The piece below sold at an auction not too long ago. It is a fake. You really have to be careful. Many people can be fooled.

Someone "artistically" added this bird to an old Whites Utica pitcher.
Also offered on an internet auction.

This piece was seen offered on an internet auction. Available in Antique Reproduction Catalogs for less than $50
