Vintage, Fenton | |
Similar to Dugan's Vintage pattern, but on Fenton the pattern takes up almost the entire surface (the Dugan is more concentrated in the center). Large sizes of bowls in Fenton have 6 grape clusters, medium sizes 5 clusters, and the small bowls either 4 or 5. Fenton bowls and plates have a wide panel back. Above are a rare celeste blue 10-inch bowl that sold for $4,250 in 1995. Note the 6 grape clusters. On the right is a blue 9-inch plate (made from the medium size mold with 5 clusters). Nine-inch plates are rare. | |

Bowls, whimsies from fernery
For chop plates made from ferneries, see Fernery listing below Compotes Bonbons Spittoon whimsey from berry bowl |
Ferneries were made from their own mold with the pattern on the outside only. Because they are usually cupped in, some collectors refer to them as rosebowls. Shown is a red example. To see a photo of a whimsey fernery with candy ribbon edge, click here. Fenton's little Vintage epergnes are found in two sizes: the larger about 6 inches high, the smaller (and more numerous) 4 3/4 inches high. The larger lily does not fit in the bowl of the smaller. The larger bowl has five sets of grapes around the inside of the bowl, the smaller four sets.
