Emile Gallé Glass Vase - How to ID Replica?

Hello, I recently purchased this nice looking vase at an estate sale. The manager of the sale informed me that this is a Chinese made replica. I bought it anyway because I like it and can probably do better than the $50 I paid for it even as a copy. So far it is enjoying a spot on my fireplace mantle.

My reason for posting is to ask for tips on how to identify a real versus a copy? The only thing that stands out for me is that the Emile Gallé signature on the side is very weak and it's much stronger on the real ones. Since glass production can produce variations, and for future reference, what would be some other tell tale signs of real versus copy?

Thank you for any advice and information you can provide.

 

Whoops, never mind. I'll search the archives next time before posting. I just found an old post explaining the answer to my question. Looks like shapes is a good place to start.

Naw,leave it up for fresh eyes. Weve ALL bought one of these at one time or the other .

 

Amen brother !!!

 

So true.. I have one at present.. but there’s copies and then there's copies. Mine has the word ‘tip’ added so an host replica. Anyway,that’s still a nice looking vase (nicer colours than mine )
