After spending most of the week researching this Fenton Blue Opalescent Grape and Cable Bowl, and there were many others who also assisted with the research of this unique piece, I have finally listed this bowl for sale with my shop at Artfire. Most pieces of the Fenton Grape and Cable pattern are seen in the carnival glass. This is one piece that is not carnival glass, is not iridized for the carnival glass, and thought maybe to have gotten out the door of production before the marigold spray had been added to this for the carnival look. Or, could it have been a small experimental run with Fenton on this piece, and color? No one knows for sure, at least that has been found this far.
Many books, many authors, many researchers interpretations adds to the charm of this beautiful piece that words, and pictures cannot do justice to. When you get a chance, visit my shop at Artfire to view this beautiful piece. Great for the collector of Fenton, the Glass collector, and would make a great gift for someone very special too.
I am so thrilled with this piece, and had to come by to show everyone here. Enjoy!:) Have a super week everyone!:)
Hello, and Welcome to the blog of LilacsNDreams! Glad to see you here. If you would like to see the pictures with the links of items I have listed with my store, and shop at Ecrater and Artfire, hop on over to my LilacsNDreams Store blog to see this. Got some beautiful glass ware I am offering. We plan on moving, and it is time to down size things here. Plus, I am scared to move some of this glassware, and have something happen to it too. I prefer it goes to a home safely from me, then to travel with movers:)
Been spoiled with the warmer days we had because t is cold out now...ugh! But, that doesn't stop me from keeping busy with my stores, and trying to get more inventory into them. The usual you know, pictures, measuring, weighing, researching...that is where a lot of time is spent is doing this. I do have a Fenton bowl I hope to be listing soon. Been researching that most of the week, and unusual piece I have not found anywhere else yet. I have ideas of the history, and can explain things with that. Just need a little more knowledge to feel comfortable listing it:)
When you have a chance, don't forget to visit my LilacsNDreams Store blog which there is a little link at top for it, or just click on it now. Also, visit my Artfire shop, and my Ecrater store. Have a Happy Weekend everyone!:)
Hello to all who visit me today, and Welcome to LilacsNDreams! Glad to have you stop by, pass through, and visit with me.
Monday, beginning of a new week, and of course things always look good, right? I have gotten a couple of things listed with my LilacsNDreams Artfire store, took a few more pictures, dug through some boxes, found some more glass pieces with some odds & ends to deal with, washed everything, dried, and now I have a mess with the dining room table, and kitchen counter. I have been trying a few pieces together. But, when not sure what I would like to upcycle, and how it looks, I generally will play a bit, and then walk away to see if I am settled on the idea I had.
I took time to research a few pieces today that will have to go to my LilacsNDreams Ecrater store. When it is not 20+ years old to be considered vintage, it goes to my Ecrater store for listings then. I find different pieces that are neat, cute, coloring, home decor, and still collectibles by many. Just not old enough to be considered vintage. So, when you can, visit that store as well, ok?
Well, wanted to stop by here quick, leave a few notes, and check in on things as always. Hope this finds all of you doing well. Wishing ya'll a super week! Take care, and stop again when you can.
Wanted to stop by & wish everyone a Safe & Happy 4th of July Weekend!! May ya'll have fun:) I am heading out myself to see what is out there. Our All School Class Reunion is this weekend. Happy hour started for my class at a classmates home, and then later is the street dance where all will come together. Unfortunately, they are predicting storms tonight, and right now the sky is clouding, but hopefully it will let all of us come together before anything really happens...would be nice, right?
Well, ya'll take care & enjoy the weekend! Be Safe...there are other crazies out there besides us!:) Take care, and enjoy all!!:-)
