Vaseline Glass – Comparison of Original vs. Reproduction
These shoes are #010 and # 011. Their full write-ups for each shoe are at the following posts. http://theshoecabinet.com/2007/12/12/vaseline-glass-slipper-miniature-011/ and http://theshoecabinet.com/2007/12/12/vaseline-glass-slipper-miniature-010/ on the left in the first photograph, is the original dating pre-1900. #011, on the right, is a re-production dating from the 1960s.
The differences are visibly apparent in all the photos. Above, the original has a clearer, less gaudy color and finer features when compared to the re-production.
This difference in detail and clarity of the glass is obvious. #010 on the right, #011 on the left.
This is a highly detailed and crisp rendition of a daisy and square pattern. Again the original shoe.
This shoe has less depth and sharpness in detail and the glass is thicker. This pattern is daisy and button. This shoe is the re-production.
Information was gathered from personal records, Collectible Glass Shoes by Earlene Wheatley, published by Schroeder Publishing, 2001 and Shoes of Glass 2 by Libby Yalom, published by The Glass Press, 1998.
