any ideas on authenticity of this depression glass?
Quite a few pieces of this pattern are offered on the goodwill auction. The color looks just a little bit pale to me. I had pieces of this from my grandmother's estate, and lost them in a move.

Any clue about authenticity/reproduction here?

4. It is very difficult to tell...
this pattern has been reproduced.
Still, a real fair price for a replacement
piece. As far as the depth of color, it
can appear pale due to the thickness or
thinness of the glass and a pale background
was not the best choice to use for the pic.
It would have looked immensely better and
brighter pink photoed on a black background.

Without actually holding the piece to check
mold strike and mold over-run (many depression
patterns were not fire polished but still show
only very minot mold marks.) IT is hard to tell.
