    My mother was a Fenton dealer started in the 60's. Between the family members we have over 2000 pieces of Fenton. Many still in the original boxes from the early carnival to the epergnes, burmese, coin dot, punch sets and exclusive limited edition items. My personal collections are the punch sets, burmese and vaseline as well as the Christmas items. Love watching videos on Fenton and hopefully when I retire the prices will be back up to par. Thanks for sharing.

      According to Dr. Lori, she says in a few years, maybe 5-6 years that glass will be making a huge comeback. I personally think all the glass is so cool and it brings me back to my Grandparents house and good times. That’s so cool that you have so much and in boxes, too! Wow. My style is so all over the place.

    Fenton Glass from 1905-1907 was decorated by Fenton but manufactured by other glass companies. In 1907 Fenton built their first factory in Williamstown, West Virginia and started producing their own glass. Their first piece was not iridescent ware, it was crystal with a water lily and cattail pattern. There are many inconsistencies in this story. The Fenton factory closed in 2011, the buildings were demolished and a school was built in it's place. The closing has made Fenton glass more desirable and more valuable.

    I loved your video, it was very interesting. My Mother and I used to drive down around the Ohio River valley and back on our annual glass trips back in the 1970’s when the glass factories were still in existence. The Fenton glass factory was one of our favorite stops. I have a lot of Fenton glass and I didn’t know what to do with it. I think I’ll sit on it. Thank you for your info.

    I've never heard of Fenton glass, but recognize it in this video. I started collecting glass with unique paperweights, as you say, ones I love without spending too much. I have been expanding and I love the uranium glass. Also hand blown glass, like some pieces from Greenfield Village and artist sales and museum consignment stores. We will be visiting your shop this summer!

And many in your audience are interested in making a profit. I really enjoy your videos so I’m not being critical. Only asking for a little more info on values.

    I have a small purple glass basket.......for years I kept the hanging tag on it, but it is now gone. The label is half gone. It is so small and sweet. I love it. I keep it dusted and shiny, that’s probably while the sticker is half gone. That’s all I have. I bought it for a gift, then when I purchased it, I decided to keep it! I have nothing else. That’s my story. I love Pyrex, fire king, fiesta ware, glass bake and jewel tea Autumn leaf. That’s all. I have just subscribed. I like your channel. I wish you would trim your beard.
