Fingerprint Bowl?
« on: September 22, 2012, 03:51:16 pm »
Another bowl.  It looks like another one that I have (a Fenton), but this one has no makers mark. 

Any ideas?  Reproduction?
It is better to keep your mouth closed and be thought a fool,

Thanks, Wendy!  How can I tell (when I don't have you to help), if they are Fenton if they aren't stamped?  Were there other companies/artists that made bowls like this?

Many companies made many of the same patterns but with slight differences that you must look at every detail on a piece, Fenton may have done a ruffled edge with a double crimp while Tiffin may have done a ruffled edge only, or one did a plain bottom while another did a star bottom. One may have 6 panels while another may have 5. Also not all companies did the same colors, Books, keep hanging around here and  You will pick it all up in time  ;)
