That is an awesome find to compare by, Fran. Looking at the two, there is still some differences and one is sloppy compared to the other. LOL I like Carl's piece by far and the other piece if you notice, the color is not consist ant and I see a bit of purple. With Burmese, keep in mind Webb (Queens Burmese) and Mt. Washington shared the same glass recipe and the color is exactly the same. So with seeing the purple hues in Fran's example, maybe that is the fake and Carl's is the real deal. I have never seen purple in Mt. Washington burmese glass unless it was Peachblow which is a dusty rose to blue-grey is as close as it gets. Maybe the purple was caused from reheating the glass. Overall, good find Fran and I like Carl's vase better. It's has a nice consistant color. The application of decoration and shape have a better symmetry.
