"Just Cuz" it Says Fenton
"Know your Fenton shapes!"

There are way too many pieces mis-labeled as Fenton out there. Here are some more examples.

Below: Pink Deco Style Bedroom Lamps
Bottom: Bottom of Eagle Jar
Bottom right: Ruby Red Covered Jar with Eagle Possibly made by Indiana Glass
This is a regular column in The Fenton Flyer. NFGS members have access to tips and hints for avoiding a disappointing purchase. Knowing Fenton characteristics is very important when determining if a piece is Fenton.
