These pieces are in the color tones that attract me however I continue to find glassware difficult to identify as far as patterns and makers go.
A friend of mine gave these to me yesterday saying she knew I liked to collect "stuff". lol Could the orange piece be Fenton?
Thanks all for the great items you post!
both pieces appear to be Fenton. The pedestal piece is a compote; the design was called 'Daisy & Button' and the color is amberina. The bowl is the 'Thumbprint' pattern in amber glass.
Thanks TallCakes! I imagine there are many books out there on Fenton and I think I should invest in one (or two!) Thanks again.
Me too! I thought I had seen my fill of orange in the 70's but this gives it a whole new look!
The thumbprint pattern was made by Fenton in many "colonial colors" during the 1960s as they called them: "colonial amber" "colonial pink" "colonial blue" etc. This was made as giftware for catalogs, etc and marketed as "Olde Virginia Glass"
Love the pedestal compote! Marvelous colors!
