Do you know if this is a fake? I just won it then realised it had multiple dots around the rim. Everything else looks so genuine though. Help?

Also is this a fake?

They both look genuine to me (the first especially) however it's hard to tell without handling them plus I am not an expert.

Somewhere else in this discussion topic someone mentioned that the reproductions seem to have an extra join line underneath. I've just checked my repro FL-27 and I can easily see the unrefined seam line.

There are a couple of points below that may help too:

Hi, could I please get a scan of the booklet?

It would be very useful for trying to create a lampshade for my missing barsony one.

My email is walkercbrian@hotmail.com

Thanks

Yes , its just a matter of finding it. (not as simple as it sounds, but it is here)

I possess an authentic pink FL36 which notwithstanding its originality, is not signed, have you or your readers Pip, encountered many like mine?

I appreciate your help in that instance.

Kind regards and a very happy Easter to all,

Pascale

Sorry guys, IT IS SIGNED it has the 'FL36' with the name 'Barsony' hardly visible -can only be seen under side lighting- incised in the black base...

A similar one is currently listed on eBay # 251502167974, that will give me an idea of its worth, although the seller wants only $520 when I thought those were worth a lot more some years ago, strange market following the GFC, or is that the reason?...

Cheers,

Pascale

Always better to look at completed sales - I can see 11 - prices seem to hover around mid to high 200, with original shade obviously increasing the price. Then some colour variations may be rarer (and more valuable) than others. Condition (like earrings, diamantes) is obviously important, also working condition. Prices? The flooding of the market with repros has inevitably damaged the price - the people who just want the look don't care whether it's an original or not, while those who do care may be hesitant to buy. I am not an expert on Barsony but you do see an awful lot of it around these days.

supply seems to have caught up with demand to an extent. a lot of items have lost value on Ebay in more recent times. collectors will still pay a premium for the less common lamps.
