    To identify Murano glass, look for a label. You may find it on the bottom or the back of a piece. The label will usually specify the name of the glassworks that produced it. Consult trusted online resources to determine if a given artisan or workshop is known for making Murano glass. Authentic Murano glass is universally known for its quality, so look for pieces that feature smooth, even surfaces and bold, vibrant colors. The Vetro Artistico Murano trademark is an official trademark of the Venetian Glassmakers Association and may be of use in determining if your Murano glass is authentic, but buyers should keep in mind that the market is flooded with imitations of this glass. Experts recommend working with a certified appraiser to get assistance with identifying specific pieces. Find a range of Murano glassware on 1stDibs.

  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022
    To tell if Wedgwood is real, study the mark of the brand. Ensure that the name is spelled properly with just one "E" and that the letters and logo are crisp and clear.

You'll find a range of expertly vetted Wedgwood on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2023
    To tell if a doorstop is a Hubley, look for a three-digit number printed on the back or bottom of the piece. Some doorstops will also feature the manufacturer's imprint.

This marking indicates that the doorstop was part of a line produced with the help of artist Anne Fish.

  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    To tell if an emerald has been oiled, look for white or yellow branch patterns along the surface of the gem. If you see them, the gem is likely oiled. Also, examine it under a magnifying glass for any signs of trapped bubbles. These also indicate an oiled gemstone. Consulting a licensed jewelry appraiser is the best way to accurately identify oiled emeralds. You'll find a collection of expertly vetted emerald gemstone jewelry on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    To tell if a Basquiat is real, look for a signature. While you want that signature on the front and visible in other paintings in a Basquiat, having the signature on the front of the work means it’s a fake. Also, beware of the gold crown. It’s become common knowledge that a crown appears in all Basquiats, but the forgers tend to make these gold or yellow, while Basquiat didn’t hold to this color scheme. Shop a large collection of Basquiat paintings from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2023
    To be able to tell if jewelry is Victorian, a buyer can look for certain characteristics that have come to define these pieces, but it may be difficult given that no single period has seen such a diverse group of jewelry attributed to it than the Victorian era. Victorian jewelry is named after Queen Victoria, whose reign lasted from 1837 to 1901, making her the second longest-ruling monarch. Queen Victoria loved serpentine jewels, and snake jewels made during the Victorian era came in a vast array of styles. Romantic period jewelry featured common decorative motifs and was embellished with seed pearls, coral and turquoise. Everything changed with the death of Prince Albert, and the Grand period is most often associated with mourning jewelry. Jewelry was smaller, lighter and more dainty during the late Victorian period. The best way to tell if jewelry is Victorian is generally to work with an antiques appraiser or otherwise qualified professional in the jewelry industry. Shop a collection of antique Victorian jewelry from some of the world's top jewelers on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    To tell if a pearl is real, examine it closely. Genuine pearls are reflective and lustrous, while fakes won't have reflective properties. A real pearl will be cool to the touch and warm up when worn. One test is the "tooth test," where you rub the pearl against your front teeth. If the texture is slightly rough, then it's a genuine pearl. Shop a collection of expertly-vetted pearl jewelry from some of the world's top sellers on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Determining the age of a rug often depends on the style of rug because different styles have evolved at their own rates and with their own characteristics. One thing you can look for is a date; some rugs weave the year into the border. Another thing to make note of is the color of the rug. Bright dyes and synthetic fibers weren’t available until the 1920s for rugs, so authentic antique rugs will have muted tones. Shop a collection of vetted antique rugs from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    There are some telltale signs to look for when you’re authenticating a piece of Sèvres porcelain. Fakes of this prized French porcelain have been made since the 19th century, so simply having the interlaced “L” mark of Sèvres may not be enough. Look for unsightly or sloppily-painted scenes and decorations. The colors should fit right with one another, and the guilding should be fine and lightly applied. On 1stDibs, you’ll find a collection of expertly-vetted Sèvres porcelain from some of the world’s top sellers.
