How do I identify Fred Press glassware?
To identify Fred Press glassware, turn the piece over and examine the bottom. Nearly all pieces produced by the maker will bear a signature that reads "Fred Press." Patterns can also provide clues, as many Fred Press glasses feature real 22-karat gold paint. If you need help with the identification process, seek the opinion of a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of Fred Press glassware.
