Here's what's up for grabs: three winners will receive one of these gorgeous amberina compotes, made by Fenton Art Glass Company of West Virginia. Fenton is no longer making art glass; its focus has shifted to glass beads, so this glass will become more valuable with time.
Most readers of this blog know that in addition to being a storyteller I am a glass fanatic, and that I also sell glass and other antique and vintage items in antique malls in Marietta, Ohio, Ravenswood, WV and Parkersburg, WV. I also list on ebay as seller grannysu, and have a Facebook page for this business, Bird in Hand Antiques, Vintage and Retro. I love sharing beautiful things with others, and these three compotes seemed like the perfect giveaway.
So get your comments in to get in on the drawing, and enjoy the fun!

They are beautiful. I got a vase from GW of all places, for about $5. I think It's called the thumb print? pattern. I love it.
ReplyDeleteIs this where we comment to enter your contest? I don't see how to get to a previous blog. The compote bowls are pretty.

ReplyDeleteI visited a Fenton glass place near Marietta, OH about 40 years ago and still have a little pair of cute ducks that I bought. I put them out every spring.

ReplyDeleteGlass has a special place in my heart. Maybe this is because of the time I've spent in Catholic Churches. The way light plays through colored glass has always fascinated me. My best friend and I have a tradition of exchanging glass art pieces we find. When I taught chemistry I did a display of glass with info on the elements that produce the color. What a rich tradition for WV!
