Fenton Water Lily Amber Compote

Compote, Floral, Opaline

This pretty compote has an opalescent ruffled rim.  The amber is very rich and the contrast with the ruffle is very attractive.  I bought this recently, although I don’t recall where – perhaps in Fenelon Falls.

The pattern is quite pronounced – open water lily blooms and another flower head in profile.  I can’t decide whether it is a closed water lily or a tulip.

The piece is signed.  It has the word Fenton, enclosed in an oval, with the teensiest number “8” beneath the oval.  Carnival Glass 101 identifies this mark to indicate a production date of the 1980s.  Check this site out if you are trying to identify a glass mark- it’s great!

Depression, Floral, Platter

Despite saying many times, that I don’t collect Depression glass, I seem to have a few pieces.  This platter was acquired recently, just because it was $8.00.  There is absolutely no rationale to that.  Lots of things are $8.00, or less, and I don’t go around buying them!  But…here it is.  I own this and can add it to my collection of ‘pink glass’.  I’m not even all that crazy about pink anythings!  I don’t know if the official name of this pattern is Poinsettia (I’ve also seen it called “Floral”).  But this is how you find it online.  The pointy leaves I guess.

Unknown Engraved/Cut Bowl

Floral

I have had this little bowl for some time.  When I went to take the photo I saw that  the price tag on it reads $0.75.  This must have come from a Tag Sale at some thrift shop, but I have no recollection of when and/or where.  It’s a cute little thing.  Likely a candy dish (no lid).  Interesting feet.  I’m looking through books today (it’s rainy and gray, what else can I do otherwise???)  for pattern identifications, but don’t hold out a great deal of hope for finding this patter – pretty ordinary.  But….hope springs eternal!
