The Czech Forest Vase is one of the most often seen vases with a forged R. Lalique Signature. But in last week’s mail came an inquiry from a purchaser who had bought the vase on hope alone without even the phony signature in place. The correspondence speaks for itself. **<\/p>\n

\"CzechDear Madam or Sir,
\nI bought this vase on a budget resolution and I am not sure if this is a
\nreal vase from R. Lalique.
\nIt would be great if you can help me out.
\nThe vase has no signature or a mark at the bottom. The weight is 3267 Grams.
\nOn the floor of the vase there are strong traces of use.
\nI was searching your website and I did find this vase. The model looks
\nlike a fake one, but the color is different.
\nI am a collector and it would be great if you could tell me more about it.
\nAttached you will find some pictures of the vase.<\/p>\n

Thank you in advance for your effort.<\/p>\n

Kind regards from Stuttgart,
\nHopeful Buyer<\/p>\n

Our reply:<\/em><\/p>\n

\nDear RLalique.com,
\nThank you for your Mail. You have a great website!
\nThe next time I will be more careful.
\nKind regards
\nHopeful Buyer<\/p>\n

Obviously the buyer should have checked (there is a bad pun in there somewhere) the website before the purchase and not after \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
