Fenton Basket
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
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
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
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
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
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!
