Modern Hoffman - what I meant was, modern-day Hoffman malachite, being 'passed-off' as period, which I automatically discard... There are also folks that seem to dismiss modern-day Czech items & Red-Ashay copies, particularly their car mascots for example, however I don't personally, as why shouldn't they produce them? After all, Lalique still produces designs by their Master! As so do many other factories, and rightfully so too in my opinion. Desna, has won many awards for their mascots, and even their Victoire example (which is practically identical to Lalique, though are most usually frosted) was voted for an award by Lalique themselves. I know which of each I'd rather have, but then again a modern-day examples are a fraction of the cost.
