Title: To Be Fenton or not to be is the question
Post by: ironlord1963 on February 24, 2010, 08:22:02 pm

     I have just acquired a piece of glass, which has the fenton look, maybe a bit off color though not sure.  It was cheap enough to take the chance.  Currently I have no good fenton books, and the task on the net sure leads to many page search.  Then it dawn on me (ding ding) maybe fentonfrk can help  ;D.  Or anyone else of course.  I will continue the search myself unless someone can help me quicker.

Would this be Colonial Blue??  Noticed in the write-up for this vase the mention that this blue is hard to find.

This one just doesnt scream fenton to me. I've never run across anything like it in my research. Fenton did make some blue pieces in the 60's but your piece looks too "light" in color.

Thanks for the replies, I got it for $1.99. Worth the chance, and it is a wonderful looking piece.  At first I thought it might of been some Lusterware, but after close inspection it is true color glass.  Kinda has a two tone affect around the bends, but something about the color is still bothering me, maybe it is just that cheap lusterware look about it.  Anyway, I did look a bit more to no avail, so I just have to sell it as plain art glass.
