For many years Depression Glass has been reproduced by firms from all over. Below is a list of patterns and shapes we know to be reproduced. If you know of others to add to this list, please let us know. Yellow, red, blue, amethyst and frosted colors are all reproductions made by Tiara from 1974 through the 1980's. New pink has an orange tint rather than the soft pink of the old color.
New green is darker than the original.
Pattern is weak, too much glass in the bottom of shaker, cobalt was never originally made. As children's dishes were never made, these miniatures pose no problem. As pink, delphite and green are the only original colors made, they are the ones that pose problems. In general, repro pieces are badly molded. Pieces tend to be heavier than the originals, with crooked handles and off set mold lines.
