I recently visited a lovely kitchen shop in Essex CT. I was drawn to a pretty display of glassware which I originally thought was "vintage". Lo and behold, the owner of the shop told me that the striped glasses were "reproductions" of the older beverage glassware.
When I got up close to the glassware I could see that the version I was looking at was indeed newly made. The clues that I was looking at reproductions are as follows: too many of the same kind of glasses in the store; the size of each each individual glass was taller than usual; there was no sign of age.
Hope this post will keep you on your toes.
These beverage glasses were spotted at Weekend Kitchen, Essex, CT
