How do I identify Gallé glass?

How do I identify Gallé glass?
To identify Gallé glass, turn the piece upside down. If the base is too smooth and flat, it may not be authentic. Gallé glass features vibrantly colored and gracefully executed decoration, sometimes raised, and it often comes in complex shapes with protrusions.
