Hello!

I'm a modest glass collector and not a top class specialist but to me both the red and the green artefacts look immediately fake.

This white deposit ont he red is typical of fakes, as there is no coherence between form, molded decor and marbled glass, the deposit and the very fresh aspect of the glass, and the fact that this opaque red glass is shiny.

The deposit ont he gree looks absolutely not ok, as the transparency, color in transparency and aspect of the glass.

I'm not even speaking of forms, because even they look like nothing, I'm the first to think sometime we can find special unreferred forms, that was my case, but here out of the form nothing looks ok... :(

You can maybe ask an advice from Bron Lipkin http://www.collector-antiquities.com/home.html he will give same advice I think (I would be happy for you to be wrong)
