Hi to all you fenton lovers out there who make it to my store! I have been slowly narrowing what I sell to only fenton. I love their glass as it as diverse as we are! If there is something special you would like let me know as I am selling for you! I am not very good yet a this "blog" thing so not sure what all to put into it. I have noticed that some people are having a bit of hard time telling fenton items when the sellers do not take a picture of the bottom or say only "marked" or "F" on bottom. Well my friends that just isnt good enough anymore! We deserve to know what the mark is without having to go to all the trouble of asking! I have done some research for you and this is what I have found in regards to IDing fenton or telling if it is a fake and when it was made. The following is a bit of writing from another one of my bibles on fenton: But take heart - marked Fenton glass is easy to identify. Since Fenton reissues some of its pieces, in the 1960’s they began adding marks to help collectors identify the production decade. This is a partial list; more complete listings can be found in Fenton guide books: 1960’s to 1970’s: “Fenton” inside oval; 1980’s: addition of “8”; 1990’s: addition of “9”;, 2000: addition of “0”; Anniversary collections: additional mark of 75th, 80th, or 90th. In addition, if Fenton purchased a mold from another company, an upright script “F” inside an oval is used to distinguish the piece. Seconds are marked with a sandblasted capital “F” or star, or a hand-scribed “F”. Some Fenton seconds may lean or have air bubbles, but others have now flaws - the piece simply may not have the right color or shape, or the hand-painted design may be missing or different from the example in the catalog. These flawless pieces may actually be more desirable because only a few exist I hope that my research will help you to make an informed buying experinece! There is nothing worse than to get a piece home that you thought was fenton only to find out it was a fake! Or get it off ebay and realize the "F" you thought was a script one instead turn out to be sandblasted and a second! So be aware, be careful, and have fun! I hope you will take a look at my items and place a bid! Or simply ask me a question as I never mind taling about fenton!
