Fenton?

Fenton?

I collect European carnival glass (Eda Glasbruk is my favourite) but this... this is different! My Swedish, Finnish and German pieces are not this colourful. Didn't even know this vase could do this until I saw it in the afternoon sun today. It lives in my random-shelf (please ignore the dust), found it in a thrift store last year.

Could it be Fenton? I've come across a few antique Fenton pieces here in Scandinavia, and I always wonder how and when they got here.

Value is irrelevant, I paid next to nothing, it's got a chip near the base and I wouldn't part with it in any case ❤️

Any input/ideas appreciated

Inherited this from my Great Grandmother

This was the first thing my great grandmother bought for herself when she came to the US. Over the last 100 years it has been passed from her, to my grandmother, to my mother, and now me. It is a Fenton orange tree pattern (though I was always told "rose tree"). It is beautiful and something I look forward to passing down to my own kid one day.

Beginner questions - should I buy this?

I find this dish just stunning. It's being sold as carnival glass, possibly from Walther Glas or VEB
Sachsenglas (we're in Germany), for €59 (around $ 68 US ).
Is it worth that? I'm not really a collector but I just love it. However, if it's worth way less I don't want to overpay by a large margin.
Would appreciate any help or information, thanks so much! 😊

Is this carnival glass?

While cleaning these glasses I noticed some clear sections in the glass. They don’t flake off and the color isn’t painted on. Is this a flaw that happens when blowing carnival glass or are these reproductions/fakes?

Help please! Collection from my great grandmother

Hello all! Sorry if this is not allowed or frowned upon here. Could yall please help me in estimating a value for these, or if not point me in the right direction to find out for myself? There are 12 glasses, large pitcher, dish with a lid, creamer, small pudding cup (?), and two candle holders. I couldn't find any makers marks on them. All and in excellent condition, the only scratches being very light on the bottoms of a few of the glasses where they were sitting on the shelf. I inherited my great grandmother's collection, but sadly am unable to keep it for a couple reasons. Thanks in advance!
