Butterfly and Berry Bowls, Baskets, Fenton | |
Butterfly and Berry was Fenton's most popular pattern and is found in a fair number of shapes. The pattern was used on the exterior of other Fenton patterns--Hearts and Trees, Fantail, and Panther. Fenton also whimsied some of their bowls. Above are a green bowl with typical shaping and a blue bowl with the sides straight up called a fernery. If these bowls are slightly cupped in, they're referred to a rosebowls. If the bowls are widely spread into an ice cream shape, the're called centerpiece bowls. Imported fake bowls are known in white and amethyst. | |

Handled basket This is the first handled basket I have a record of selling. It is in vaseline opal and surprisingly brought only $20 in 2022. Apparently made from a tumbler, Photo courtesy of Shefflield auctions. Also see Hatpin Holders, Water and Table Sets, and Vases |
