Fenton Stumped.

[ironlord1963]

     O.K. how about another Fenton Question.  I have this vase, which appears to be a Fenton Silvercrest flower vase.  Except something just doesn't match.  I have found these all over the net, however the flower vase which is a bit taller then mine and the base or rather body of the fenton one's seems to be a bit narrower, They did put out one call a melon vase, which matches the size and roundness of the body of the vase, except the melon vase has little dimples between the curves.  Mine is 5" tall and weighs 8 oz. and There are no markings.  Could this be a Fenton, or a copy maybe? and did any other glass companies make the Silvercrest?

Ironlord, what a beautiful piece!  Love the crisp look of it - a look that spans eras!

Very nice example of Fenton silver crest. Probably made in the late 40's. Here's a little piece of info for you that will help you date Fenton milk glass. The more opaque the milk color is, the older it is. I would say that it is probably worth $20-$40.

Real nice Ironlord.Hope you got a deal on it.

[ironlord1963]

Thanks all you folks, yes I did get a good deal, found it at goodwill for $1.99, could not pass it up for that.  Thanks for all the tips again.

fentonfrk, that is something that most people aren't aware of.  The more opaque milk glass in general...the older it is.  The more solid/bright white...it is newer!

Yes, as the others have said, a nice vase! Gotta love those Goodwill finds!
