Silver overlay and silver deposit are areas of interest that we are asked about at the Rakow Library. I am printing out the postings on the Gazelle Gazette, and have added them to our bibliography on the topic, as well as our files. If anyone would like to see the bibliography (which has some overlaps with that of David Fairbrothers, please contact me directly.

Just a reminder, some of our materials can be shared through interlibrary loan (books and periodical articles), and copies of one or two articles can be requested from me directly.

However, any of our audiovisual materials can only be accessed by visiting the library.

SHARING A FAKE

Alan –

Marshall Ketchum posted a picture of an 8513 vase in the Gazette (yellow jade with blue aurene decoration). He mentioned in his write up that there are copies out there that aren’t Steuben. You may remember that I own one of those copies (one of the hazards of buying in on-line auctions from pictures). I sent him a picture of my vase and he combined it with the picture of the authentic vase. The Steuben vase is on the left.
