Cherry Blossom by Jeanette Depression Glass Authenticiation

 I knew that my cup and saucer set and my fruit bowl didn't match. I tossed and turned about it and finally had Alex send me some photos. This is what I found out.

Yeah that isn't Sharon Rose.  It seems to have cherries on it. I used this website to figure out what my options where, and I found that the only thing it could be is the Cherry Blossom Pattern by Jeanette. 

Yup, those are cherries.

"Footed"

So now that we've determined what the pattern is, I have to figure out whether or not it is a reproduction. Oddly, the National Depression Glass Association doesn't say anything about a 10.5" footed bowl. 

The molding is homogeneously deep and clear.

My only clue at this point is that the NDGA says that he pattern is badly molded on reproductions. Mine is not badly molded. I can't say anything about weight because I don't have the tactile memory for this pattern (another reason it would be nice to only collect one pattern).

Another description I am poring over is

"The pattern on reproduction Cherry Blossom is crude, a mere caricature of the original. The cherries look squished, and the branch they hang on looks like a solid bar of glass.  "

The reproduction page at the NDGA website has a picture of a reproduction that fits this glass bar description.

Mine do not look like that.  So there you go. Authenticated.

Apparently these are worth more than any other piece in my collection, but I can't stand there being an odd man out.
