Goblet
- Examine all four vines running up the stem on the mold lines. On the original, all the vines have a stem branching to the left near the bottom of the bowl. On the reproduction, one vine has no stem branching to the left at all. That stem is the one that has the unattached floating leaves above it, as described in point #3.
- Find the open bloom on the lower part of the bowl that points to the right. On the reproduction, the center stamen ball on this bloom is much larger than the other four balls. On the original, all of these balls are about the same size.
- This same bloom on the original has a stem passing behind it (just under the lower stamen) which connects the leaf to the left of the bloom to the main stem on the right. On the reproduction, this leaf is just floating with its stem going into the bloom but not coming out.
- Also, on the reproduction the stem above this bloom is not connected to anything, thusly all of the leaves above it are just floating with no connecting stem to the main vine.
- Move right one seam line on the pattern. The leaf pointing down on this vine has two stems on the original and only one on the reproduction.
- Move right one seam line on the pattern. Notice at the top of the goblet the two horizontal leaves with downward pointing leaf between. On the original, the right horizontal leaf has a stem that connects to the main vine. On the reproduction, the right horizontal leaf has a stem that connects to the top of the downward pointing leaf only.
- Move right one seam line on the pattern. Notice the open bloom which is pointing up on this seam line. The reproduction has five distinct stamen balls on the top edge outside of the bloom. The original has only four balls on the outside edge, with the right hand ball actually inside the bloom, plus another barely noticeable ball directly on top of the mold seam.

Wine
- Find the open bloom on the lower part of the bowl facing left. On the original, the center stamen ball touches the leaf to the left and the upper ball does not touch the leaf above it. On the reproduction, the center ball does not touch the leaf to the left and the upper ball touches the very edge of the leaf above it.
- Also on the reproduction, the group of four leaves and one closed bloom to the left of the aforementioned open bloom does not have a connecting stem to the main vine below. The original has the connecting stem on the top of the mold line.
