How about posting a picture of one of your pretties so everyone will know what you mean by "art" glass.

Very pretty, Fentonfrk. I only have one piece of per say "art glass" but I have never been able to find out who made it.

I describe it as a "cranberry, opalescent rufled rim, 2 handled bowl".

Regularjoe2, from what i can see of your picture, it looks like your piece is what they call a peach crest bowl. If you have a better picture of it I might be able to tell you a little more about it. Whether or not it is a Fenton piece and what the value of it might be. And as for the brass cassing, those are my husbands. He loves to collect old military guns.

Cogar, do you have a picture of your cranberry piece? The cranberry pieces that Fenton made are some of the most popular for collectors. I would love to see it.

Hi Fentonfrk welcome, I also love Fenton here are a few pieces I have. The first  2 photos are all Fenton(and have a lovely light yellow satin color photos do not do them justice), photo #3 the blue vase to the right & the diamond & rib carnival glass vase on the left,photo #4 the 2 fairy lights. I have lots of art glass by many makers and some unknown as I  have not researched them yet. Nice to see another art glass lover here.

    Well here is actually a piece of my girlfriends Fenton, Or so we are pretty sure.  No Fenton Markings and etc.  So much Fenton flying around I had to show off a piece.  We do have a nice hobnail Spoon Dish, but she wouldn't let me take a pic, She is using it right now on the stove.  I have a couple other pieces but would have to dig.  Just wanted to pitch in a bit, and as mentioned on the other thread.  Thanks for being here Fentonfrk.

Ironlord1963, I love your piece! I've never seen a piece that color in person but ive seen them in my books. I think they were made in the 50's. I will have to look in my book and see what it says about it.

I have to assume he did that on purpose!

LOL, Busted by Dontbe, when looking for a place to take the pic, I thought that would do nicely.  My Photograher side came out.
