<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bev aka thelmasstuff, post: 5218, member: 23&quot;]Workmanship is what usually throws people off.&nbsp; Compare any decorative object made 100 or more years ago to what is churned out today.&nbsp; Things like this were made to last and they intended them to be handed on through the generations.&nbsp; The quality of workmanship, whether it was glassware or jewelry was much higher and more detailed.&nbsp; There is a common misconception out there that old equates with rough.&nbsp; It&#039;s generally the opposite.&nbsp; I recommend that anyone interested in antiques go and prowl through antique shops and handle the real thing so you get a feel for it.&nbsp; The internet is great, but nothing beats the real thing.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
