Measurements would probably be the most accurate way of authenticating. Getting the correct measurements for an original shouldn&#039;t be to difficult. Bear in mind measurement must be SPOT ON for an original. Repros show variance.</p><p><br /></p><p>BTW Anne Fish also designed pieces for Fulper/Stangl Pottery. Also VERRRRY desirable and RARE.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
