I am confused with this piece. So far I found the following info:
It is a 2 pc Fairy Lamp definately from the Olde Virginia Line based on the OVG mark on the buttom. It is a Fine Cut & Block patter #9102. I am not sure about the color it is the Cameo or the Amber.
I found other pieces here and there but none of them had the opalescent/white rim like this on the buttom piece.
Can somebody help me to identify this piece please?

you can also compare your color to those in the 1980 catalog of CO (see page 4-5). I have a cake stand in CO and it can be diffocult to get good color in photographs.

Thank you so much for your comment and the link.
It is very informative. I like this piece because its color.
Do you think it is collectible or it is just my " Fenton love"?
A short article was published in our Fairy Lamp Club Newsletter on Fenton fairy lamp designs. It won't help confirm the color but will add a bit of information on this pattern/design. I have put the article online for you at:
