Fake Australian Carnival
Cathy B:
LOL Glen :) Quite right, I haven't got your book :)
I've generally steered clear of Aus carnival (and carnival in general, except for the melon ribs), on the grounds that it's too expensive and there are pleny of other collectors out there who know a lot more. Hopefully some of these people will be watching when any more fakes start turning up.
Anyway, thanks for doing that page. Did you do the line drawings yourself? They're very good.

Glen:
Hi Cathy - the Melon Ribs are fascinating, aren't they?
Yes, I did the drawings. I've drawn a lot of Carnival Glass patterns. The most difficult were the Millersburg geometrics. It took me days to do each one - and I had trouble focussing after I had spent time drawing, as I was doing such close work. :roll: Even funnier were the dreams I had at that time. I had spent so much of my time staring at the geometric patterns that it must have affected my subconscious! And I had these weirdy OpArt dreams - as if Bridget Riley had invaded my head. :lol:
Anyhow, the thanks are all from me to YOU, for having spotted the fake in the first place. I am indebted to you .

Take care!

Just a note to let anyone who is interested know that yet another Kingfisher berry (which is different again) has just shown up on Aussie eBay. I have updated / added details to my website article on these items.

Cathy B:
Thanks again Glen,
It's heartening that so far they seem to be relatively obvious. Have you got the auction number of the fake?
