Fenton Teal Fine Cut and Grapes 3-footed Bowl The Fine Cut and Grapes pattern by Fenton is reminiscent of Northwood's Fine Cut & Roses pattern. This 3-footed bowl is rare enough in almost any color, but this item is apparently a sample produced in the early 80's, before this color came into the line. It features a tri-corn crimp, Fenton's logo on the bottom, and measures 4-1/4" tall by 4" across. The only flaw I can see is that there is a smear of black or very dark green glass in one area (as shown), and a small rough spot on the inside of the neck. No chips or cracks.

Fenton Spanish Lace Compote in Cameo This compote, 6.5 inches x 7, pattern #3522, is non-satinized cameo glass with a crystal crest. It is NOT opalescent, which is why I believe it is an experimental piece. The Fenton logo features an "8", indicating it was made in the 1980's, but I do not have a more exact date. In excellent condition.

Covered Candy Dish signed by Mike Fenton Covered candy dish in amethyst glass, #9280-AY. Two sides of the dish have pattern and texture, two sides do not, so I believe this is an experimental piece, as all the other dishes I've seen like this do not have any patterns or textures. The lid features a butterfly. 5 inches x 5.25, in mint condition. Signed by Mike Fenton, 8-6-82.
