Beware! Fake Lalique Signature on Perfume Bottles

Buyers Beware!! I found a vintage perfume bottle set with matching powder box, probably German or Czechoslovakian, post 1940s, with a faked acid mark for R. Lalique on base. It is entirely possible that the seller honestly has no idea that this signature has been faked on their items, but let this serve as a warning to those thinking about purchasing this as authentic R. Lalique.

Seller's description taken right from listing:

"- all sales are final, no returns refunds or exchanges accepted -  please review condition report and view all photos prior to purchase - clear, sparkly, blue art glass from the art deco period featuring gold accenting, gold applied etched plates, and brass metal work.  this is a one of a kind perfume atomizer and must have been made for a special client as there are no others that i have seen, as you see many mass produced pieces on ebay, but never anything to unique and RARE.  it is very large and heavy, and is signed R Lalique France on the bottom of the bottle.   the bottle itself measures 4 1/2 inches across, 3 1/2 inches deep, and 6 inches to the top of the atomizer.   this listing is for the atomizer only but i also have other pieces from this set available for sale on ebay, check them out!  a similar set of only 2 pieces sold at auction in 2019 for $30,000!!! these sets are top of the food chain and were made for the rich and famous.  they are completely unique one of a kind and no two are alike.  to find 3 matching pieces is impossible!"

Seller also has a matching powder jar, also with faked R. Lalique signature on base:
