Dragon and Strawberry, Fenton | |
Another of Fenton's dual themes--this one an odd combination of dragons and strawberries. Found only in bowls, some collar based, others ball-footed. There are ruffled, round flared, and ice cream shapes. The base and shape make little difference in the value. What does seem to make a difference is the iridescence. Top quality bowls can sell for 10 times the lower quality items.

Updated 11/30/2022 | At the left is an extremely rare Dragon and Strawberry 9-inch plate in marigold--that does not have the dragon part of the design. There are one or two of these known. This one was in the collection of the late Dale Matheny.
This example sold in 2017 for $40,000 at the Karen Engel auction. |
