    I thought I had snagged a set of six coasters, called Pipe Dreams by Fornasetti. Two bucks...SCORE! But...where is the signature? Some sort of stamp on the back? Are they...fakes!!!
    I don't know. I know that this imagery is not something I really like (pipes, really?) and wonder why anyone would want to fake these.

    Looking for thoughts and votes here.

      Soooo cool. I love them.
    2. AmberRose AmberRose, 11 years ago
      Thank you Doctor, hope you are doing well.

      I am good... Busy... Buying a condo. In the midst of all the fun things related to it.. Not. But once it's done, it will be great. It's in my absolute favorite neighborhood in town. We are thinking about downsizing, so probably move in it next year.
    4. AmberRose AmberRose, 11 years ago
      Wow, condo! What will you do with all your treasures?
    5. AmberRose AmberRose, 11 years ago
      V, what do you think?
    6. DrFluffy DrFluffy, 11 years ago

      Nope, mine are naked on the back...but they sure look right on the front...yes I'm aware that that sounded dirty.
    14. SEAN68 SEAN68, 11 years ago
      LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    15. AmberRose AmberRose, 11 years ago
      Knew you were going to laugh at that!
    16. SEAN68 SEAN68, 11 years ago
      I could not help myself!!!
    17. AmberRose AmberRose, 11 years ago
      Well heyEye, I'd appreciate your thoughts here
    18. AmberRose AmberRose, 11 years ago
      Fool you with a fake? Not sure what you mean.
    19. vetraio50 vetraio50, 11 years ago
      I've been staying deliberately out of this Amber because I just don't know.
      No marks?
      Looked on the net and found lots available like them all at Fornasetti prices.
      Have not found out anything in Italian either.
      Lots of attributions.
      Bucciarelli.
      Fornasetti for Bucciarelli etc..
      Caveat Emptor!
    20. AmberRose AmberRose, 11 years ago
      V...Just because you don't know all the answers doesn't mean you shouldn't participate in class. :)) I have been wondering why you haven't commented.
      Rapidly thinking...fake
    21. AmberRose AmberRose, 11 years ago
      Oh and V, thank you fore looking around
    22. SEAN68 SEAN68, 11 years ago
      Hello Amberrose this are real:( sorry darling , did you look at the links ive given you?
    23. SEAN68 SEAN68, 11 years ago
      dam spell check !! not real
    24. AmberRose AmberRose, 11 years ago
      Yes I know, just wanted to see what the team had to say.
    25. SEAN68 SEAN68, 11 years ago
      meaning they don't know that they are fakes. these are not real , I have been reading and collecting fornasetti now for almost 3 years . I know what is and what isn't!!
    26. SEAN68 SEAN68, 11 years ago
      and I will be letting those people know on ebay !! and that will be the second time now on ebay someone has done that and the last person on ebay I told them it wasn't fornasetti and they ended there listing!!
    27. SEAN68 SEAN68, 11 years ago
      I have to say they are NOT VERY CLEAR in there description because most titles in ebay for seller always says in the title" style like"
    28. SEAN68 SEAN68, 11 years ago
      Hello Amberrose I still say they are beautiful regardless of what they are!!!
    29. Manikin Manikin, 11 years ago
      Ammber Your cigar plates are wonderful for people who collect smoking memorabilia . So unusual to want to eat off a tray of pipes . I love them whatever they are :-) xoxo
      Nice find
    30. Manikin Manikin, 11 years ago
      LOL My M sticks I really don't stutter . Sorry about that you barely touch it and it shoots out seveal M's . If they were real M&M's I would be ok with that . So Amber sorry on 2 M's in your name :-( xoxo
    31. AmberRose AmberRose, 11 years ago
      Mani, I thought you were purring my name. Oh, and I think they are coasters.
      Interesting debate about the semantics of eBay listings. It is a buyer beware world out there.
      Regardless, they are now going in the Randolph pile. I picked them up because I knew several folks really like the Fornasetti and for a couple of bucks, why not.
