[Mccoypottery-talk] Hull LRRH CJ

[Kevin Reffitt]

I have to disagree.

That face is an exceptionally beautiful rendition, and not representative 
of the typical LRRH line.  Usually the cheeks are of "high color", to the 
point of being harsh, and the lips are not as well done as your 
example.  Remember that these jars were mass produced and painted by 
different people with different levels of talent.

Go to eBay and look at these two auctions.  These are more the norm for the 
LRRH line.
3723062986 & 3722000548

This one here is an example of someone having a bad day at work.

This is a beautiful reproduction.  Notice the care taken in the face painting!

As always, reference your books.  Ask questions.  Understand the techniques 
used by the manufacturer, and avoid variations and departures from those 
techniques unless you are ABSOLUTELY sure of the origin.

I have yet to see a good forgery on eBay, just a bunch of bad fakes.  Thing 
is, it's SO easy to tell the difference.  I'm at the point where I think I 
need to give a series of classes here on this forum on how to research, 
techniques uses by different manufactures, and tell tale signs of real 
verses fake.

Nobody should EVER be fooled.  If you are, then you weren't paying 
attention.  This excluded the new collector, of course, but even they 
should NEVER try to start buying vintage without reference material and 
support forums such as this at their disposal.  Keep this in mind....you 
will NEVER fool a Barbie collector.  Trust me, I'm one.
