i've never been a huge fan of Fenton glass. my grandma has a few pieces that have been in her collection for FOREVER, so i've always associated that brand as being "old lady-ish". not anymore.
last week my mom and i took a trip to one of our favorite local antique shops. almost as soon as i walked in i saw a blue Fenton hobnail planter. it was pretty much love at first sight. i had never seen one of these in blue, only their lime/jadite color. this color is fantastic - not turquoise, but not royal blue - more of a chalaine. Fenton's beautiful colors seem to forgive their frou-frou shapes.
very lovely. a true robins egg blue
ReplyDeleteI'm not a big fan of Fenton either but this planter is beautiful...and hobnail is always a win!
ReplyDeleteIts beautiful!I need your advice on a piece I have I will shoot you and email if you don't mind.

A blog friend introduced me to your Etsy shop and I am smitten. My daughter is named Kate, I adore Jadite, and you are indeed a kindred soul.
ReplyDeleteI just remodeled my kitchen to include a special space for my Jadite and you might be interested in seeing it. You can find it here:

By the way, I love hobnail as much as I love Jadite, but I have never seen hobnail Jadite. Have you? I would buy it in a second if I could find it.
Love your style, love your blog and will visit often.
Oh I love it!!! Will it be in your shop?? Elma
ReplyDeletehi elma,

Fenton grow on me! it is an acquired taste~
ReplyDeleteOh oh oh! If you ever do sell... it would match my jadite planter in the same style... :)
