Fenton "Hanging Heart"
These were up for auction last Saturday. I know nothing about Fenton, and that matter from the number of questions, glass in general. These went for under $200. Did I miss the boat?
Thanks.

You did not miss the boat at all. Although all art glass and production glass has taken a severe hit in price in this recent downturn you did very well.
I would agree but I think he let it go by retro...if I understand correctly?
How many of them glow under blue light? All the custards? And the pinks too?
I reckon you bought extremely well.
