FENTON AUTUMN LEAVES ON BLACK COVERED CANDY J This Autumn Leaves on Black Candy Jar 7380 AW was part of Fenton's 1994 General Catalog. Measuring 9 1/2" tall, with the lid on, this candy jar features a gold and green leaf design and is in excellent condition with no chips or cracks and the pattern is intact. There is a lot going on, on the bottom of this candy jar so here goes... You will find the trusted Fenton logo on the bottom with a 9 under showing the decade it was made in, as well as the signature of the artist who painted it which is J.K. Spindler and is also dated 1994, this was limited to the year of production so it is #973, and was a Family Signature Series so it is signed by Don Fenton who is no longer with us. Whew oh and there was something else that has been scratched out?? Sometimes on 2nds Fenton would print their name Fenton or later in years just write a Fenton F but the size of these scratches do not fit any of that. I don't know what it could have been unless there was an issue with the signing equipment? Whatever is was this is the only imperfection on this piece and cannot be seen unless you turn it over to intentionally look at it! This will be a great addition to your Fenton collection!

FENTON LIFESTYLE FRENCH OPALESCENT LIFESTYLE You will need to be the judge on this one! In 1998 Fenton created a line to keep up with their collector's ever changing "Lifestyles" and for decorators to utilize. To me this Vase looks like the 1579 FZ 6 1/2" Pinstripe Vase in French Opalescent that was part of that line. Now here's where I drive myself crazy it looks like the picture, the pinstripe to me should be straight all the way through but it starts straight at the bottom and ends that way at the top but is swirl as a swirl optic would usually be through the middle. The picture does appear to be the way as well. To me there is a slight tint to the F/O and again the picture has a slight tint to the glass. So after saying all this let me also say I think it is a beautiful piece, the coloring is beautiful and has such a soft touch that I can see why they used it for a decorating "Lifestyle," It is in excellent condition with no chips or cracks and shows no signs of ware. Because this was blown you cannot see the logo in the bottom. This will be a magnificent addition to your Fenton collection!

FENTON BLUE SPIRAL OPTIC OPALINE SATIN OPEN A This Opaline Satin Spiral Optic "Sweet Pea" Open Heart Arches Basket CV146 C7 was produced by Fenton for QVC in October of 1996. The Open Heart Arches has a long history behind it! In the early 1950's Frank Fenton purchased a Biscuit Jar that he believed was designed by Nicholas Kopp in the 1890's. The design of the jar was known as Open Heart Arches by collectors. He had the Fenton's mould maker, Francis Lehew, design a flat bottom sugar bowl which was to have a metal lid, but they could not find a supplier for the lids! The project was halted and the mould put away for over 40 years! Fenton was looking for new items for QVC and in 1993 the staff stumbled across this mould. Nancy Fenton loved it as a shape for vases and baskets! So the mould makers modified the mould and the rest is history! When QVC saw the first basket in 1994, which was the Cranberry Opalescent, they asked this basket be exclusive to QVC and Fenton agreed. So between 1994 - 2001 Fenton made 6 baskets and 2 vases with this mould for QVC!

This beautiful Blue Satin Opaline Swirl Optic Basket stands approximately 8 3/4" tall it has a pink & white "Sweet Pea" design. This twisted swirl handled basket is in excellent condition with no chips or cracks and the pattern is intact. The bottom has the scripted fenton painted on the bottom and is signed by the talented artist who painted it. PLUS as an added bonus it is signed by Bill Fenton! What a beautiful addition to your Fenton collection!
