Here are some attempts to fake (very badly!)  mould blown Janus head flasks.

 

These are genuine ones:

 











.

The last two above, though in prestigious museums, are doubtful.

Some slightly "better" fakes.

 






.

And then there are these!

From three different sellers, one of whom has a gallery and gives certificates of authenticity (apparently with a straight face).

Prices at these three sellers vary from $350 to well over $1000 even though they are from the same "factory".

Seller number 1.

$350-$400

 










.

This seller has just been nominated for the "best worst" pages".

 

 

At another seller you need to pay just over $650 for each of these.

.

Yes, this seller uses some of the same photoographs. Maybe he is an offshoot of the first?

.

And in London, large numbers, at so called  antiquities dealers!
