<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cherryhill, post: 297185, member: 70&quot;]That&#039;s the secret of AirTrap wares. It wasn&#039;t fused at all, had a tiny pocket of air. When the entire piece is frosted, the pocket of air reflects through the frosting to give a &quot;mother of pearl&quot; effect. Unfortunately the outer layer of glass is very thin, therefore fragile. Due t it&#039;s popularity, MOP wares have been heavily reproduced. Originating about 1900, (plus or minus) the market was flooded with them in mid 20th century. If yours has a sharp pontil, it&#039;s probably a more recent product.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
