Fenton Bicentennial Eagle Plate, Amethyst Carnival This is a special NIL edition of Fenton's 1776-1976 Bicentennial Eagle plate (9418-CN). It is produced in amethyst carnival rather than the standard colors for this collection: Patriot Red, Valley Forge White, Independence Blue or Chocolate. It is 8" in diameter and the front shows the American Eagle surrounded by a circle of thirteen stars. The inscription on the back is different from the regular edition as well. Under an arch of 13 stars, it reads: 1776 Heritage
The Eagle and the Thirteen Stars, two of America's most cherished symbols, are shown to commemorate the bicentennial of the United States of America.
"God Bless America"
A rarity purchased direct from Fenton by my parents, in mint condition.

Fenton Blue Opalescent Twisted Drapery Ewer NIL Here is another NIL item, a ewer in Blue Opalescent in the Twisted Drapery pattern. It measures 4-3/4" in diameter and 6-3/4" tall. I believe this to be a ewer rather than a cruet as its neck measures nearly 1-3/4" inside and is far too large for any Fenton stopper that I have been able to find. It has a crimped handle and is in excellent condition. Produced c. 1981.

Fenton experimental piece c. 1986 Bowl in cobalt blue and white spiral optic, satin finish, was an experimental piece bought at the Fenton Factory showroom. Most likely a second from the puffbox of the Blue Ridge vanity set from the 1986 Connoisseur Collection. 4.5 inches x 2.25.

Fenton Orange Flowers on Ebony HP Vase Here is an unusual piece. Possibly a trial design done at the same time as Dianthus on Custard (which was designed by the same artist). The ebony black glass vase (7557) has yellow and orange dianthus flowers with green leaves handpainted by Linda Everson. There are smaller flowers on the reverse as shown, and even buds on each side. The vase measures 9-1/2" tall by 4-1/2" in diameter. In excellent condition, no chips or cracks.

Fenton Dusty Rose Overlay Bubble Optic Vase As far as I've been able to determine, this was never a line item at Fenton. It is the 7258 shape 8" vase, in Dusty Rose overlay with a bubble optic pattern. It has the double crimp, and a Fenton logo on the bottom. Possibly a trial item purchased at Fenton's gift shop. I have two of these available, price is each.

Fenton Ice Green Iridescent Logo Plate Here is another rarity! This Fenton logo plate measures 6-3/8" diameter by 1" deep. It features a beaded Fenton script and beaded edge in an iridescent Ice Green. This would certainly make an eye-catching display logo. No chips or cracks, in excellent condition.

Fenton French Opalescent Dot Creamer/Pitcher This lovely little creamer in French Opalescent glass is from a limited edition collection of Victorian Pitchers and Cruets produced in 1986. I thought at first it might have been made for L.G. Wright, as it has the Eye Dot pattern of vertical rows of dots, but I've included a scan of the Fenton catalog page showing the collection. It is identified as #7877-FO. It stands 4-1/2" tall, has a fluted handle and is in excellent condition, with no chips or cracks. Fenton logo on bottom.

Fenton Iridescent Green Glassblower Bell Here is a bell featuring the Fenton Craftsmen Series Glassblower (9660-FG). Although the bell first appeared in 1979 in the original amethyst carnival, this one is done in Green Iridescent and the bell opening is crimped or fluted.

Fenton Ebony Commemorative Vase This vase by Fenton was apparently a custom commemorative item or a proposed commemorative item. It is the standard 7558 6" Ebony vase but has an orange rose and bud handpainted and the following script on the bottom: "With Special Appreciation West Virginia Wesleyan 1981". This may have been a forerunner to Fenton's popular Copper Rose design. A lovely piece in excellent condition.
