George McKearin recounts the story of the discovery of the Mutzer group of Blown Three Mold rarities, now known to be fakes, as well as what is now known to be fake Stiegel-type glass in a "diamond daisy" pattern. At the time, he still believed in the authenticity of these pieces. The find in England was of pieces associated with 17th Century maker George Ravenscroft.
