When we were in the States last month I was surprised by the amount of Fenton that we saw.  Beautiful things of course.  I did buy a piece of hobnail, which I haven’t posted yet, that I assume is Fenton, but haven’t verified, but otherwise didn’t buy anything.  Prices were a bit higher than I wanted to pay.

I bought this 5  inch swan in Orono for my mother.  Likely for her Christmas stocking.  It will be a surprise because I don’t think she looks at this blog.

She has a collection of glass swans, but I don’t think she has any in red.

This swan, I think is called 5127, and was retired in 2000.

It comes in a number of colours, but I wonder if the red is common as I haven’t seen it online.

The red is deeper in ‘real’ life than this photo indicates.  The picture looks more orange than it really is.
