Pacific Coast Mail Order, Fenton   Updated 5/4/2008
Known in both marigold and blue (a handful of examples of each), these orange bowls are based on Fenton's Grape and Cable fruit bowls that have a plain interior. The complete lettering reads "Compliments of Pacific Coast Mail Order House, Los Angeles." In 1994 and 1995 the same marigold bold sold twice, for $2,650 and $2,750. In 1996 another marigold example sold for $2,000. In 2004 a blue example with a 3-inch crack sold for $2,000. In 2005, a marigold low ruffled bowl brought $2,500.
This blue example, from the collection of Judy Maxwell, sold at the 2008 Heart of America Carnival Glass Association convention auction for $3,300. It is one of only two perfect examples known.
