thank you so much
unfortunately Fenton closed down glass production last year. They may be still selling off old stock.
Thats to bad Tallcakes :-( They made beautiful glassware . I suspect the economy hurt them bad . I guess that makes fenton more collectible ? I used to watch them make the glassware and was amazed at how difficult to just apply a handle on a basket . A art that maybe for forgotten to all pressed glass will be all that is left .
