Fenton Basketweave



I have been featuring Fenton from a 28 year collection for a few weeks now. The owners are downsizing and have to part with the biggest part of their collection. Take a look at some of the older posts to see several decades of Fenton's beautiful art glass.
This beautiful vintage piece of Fenton Art Glass is a matte blue basketweave design with a ruffled scalloped eyelet edge. This bowl is only 3 1/4" tall x 5 1/2" wide but looks so elegant!
A lovely bowl in a lovely blue color!

Fenton Burmese Diamond Optic Art Glass




I have been featuring Fenton from a 28 year collection for a few weeks now. The owners are downsizing and have to part with the biggest part of their collection. Take a look at some of the older posts to see several decades of Fenton's beautiful art glass.

The Beautiful Fenton Burmese Vase & Pitcher are in the Diamond Optic design. The dainty vase is only 4" tall and very pretty. It is hand painted by J. Curtshaw and Bill Fenton. The raised ribbon on the top compliments the ruffed edge.


The 6" pitcher is in the same design and signed by J. Dowler and Dan Fenton. The pretty roses and little blue flowers would make these pieces a perfect spring display in any home!

Fenton Basket

This beautiful Fushia Opalescent Spiral Optic Basket is truly a rare find. This Fenton Basket measures 11” tall and was only produced by the Fenton Art Glass Company in 1994.

Fushia glass was produced by casing Gold Ruby (Cranberry) over Rose Magnolia and was very difficult to make and was discontinued after a short run in 1994.

This Fenton Basket has the number 2077 EH. The Fenton logo is on the bottom along with the number “9” which indicates it's from the 90's.

This beautiful basket is just a stunning bright color and is a great piece of the Fenton Art Glass Collection.

Fenton Connoisseur Collection

This beautiful 6” Vase is from the 1998 Fenton Connoisseur Collection. There were only 1500 pieces made which makes this beautiful vase limited to the world of Fenton collectors.

The Fenton name is embossed in the glass and back-stamped with the Fenton “F” and also has a silver foil label – there is no denying this is a Fenton collectible.


This vase was designed by Martha Reynolds and values at $175. If you weren't one of the lucky 1500 who originally ordered this you might find one on eBay or through a private collector.

This lovely vase is a very bright and beautiful example of Fenton's Connoisseur Collection.

Fenton Candle Bowls

These beautiful candle bowls were produced by Fenton in 1959. The Plum Opalescent is a rare find as there were only about a dozen made that year.


The color of the deep purple plum and the accent of the white opalescent finish make this one of Fenton's most strikingly beautiful bowls. Each candle bowl is about 3 5/8” tall and 8 1/4” wide and they look stunning with a candle glowing in them.

In 1959 Fenton had not started embossing the Fenton logo on their merchandise yet so these are unmarked. However, if you know Fenton Glass you can identify them immediately by the ruffled edges and the quality of the glass.

These are just another example of why Fenton is one of the leading art glass companies.

Fenton Drapery Opalescent Bowl

For the next week or two I am going to feature pieces of Fenton Art Glass. Most of these pieces are from a 28 year collection of a couple that are downsizing and are being auctioned off.

Fenton has to be the number one producer of art glass. The pictured Fenton Bowl is a Drapery Opalescent Cranberry Bowl. The ruffled edge is complimented by a rippled effect that highlights and adds to the beauty of this bowl. There are different shades of Cranberry, starting out as a deep cranberry color and gradually getting to a lighter shade.

This bowl measures 9 1/4” in diameter and is approximately 3 1/2” tall. It is a breathtaking work of art, this Cranberry Bowl is the perfect example of Fenton's classic beautiful art glass.

Fenton Murrhina Glass

For the next week or two I am going to feature pieces of Fenton Art Glass. Most of these pieces are from a 28 year collection of a couple that are downsizing and are being auctioned off.

This beautiful piece of Fenton is from the Murrhina Collection. This is a Fenton Murrhina Rose Mist Fan Vase.

This lovely piece of art glass is quite heavy and absolutely stunning. The twisted design fans out, tightly at the base and ends in a ruffled top.

Fenton produced the Murrhina line from 1964 to 1965. This line of Fenton is a little harder to find, while not it was only made for a year. Pieces of Murrhina tend to be very valuable.

Like all collectibles, do your research before buying or selling Fenton, it will benefit you greatly!

Antique Doll Stroller

Take a look at this lovely antique doll stroller. It is wicker and in great shape from the 1800's era. There are a few breaks in the wicker but for the most part this stroller is in excellent condition for it's age.

Can you imagine a little girl pushing her dolls around in this stroller. Any little girl would have been in heaven to be lucky enough to have a stroller like this.

This stroller was probably considered very expensive back in the day. Today's auction was no different, it brought $300 and the lady that purchased it was beaming! It probably brought as much joy to her as it did the original owner!
