Go to http://www.ddoty.com/ and look at the Imperial Grape, he says it's been reproduced but to me your's looks more like the Imperial one.  :huh:

Fenton bought the moulds and marketed it as Grape Cluster in the 1970s. If it was Fenton it would be marked in an oval http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,29785.0.html or at least marked.

Imperial called it Heavy Grape. I think that shiny iridescence is typical Imperial

Carnival glass added to subject to try and catch Glen's eye.

I suspect that this is an "old" Imperial piece, c. 1910-15. Inspired by this Imperial pattern, Fenton created its own mould/plunger for a similar piece in the early 1970s and called it Grape Cluster, as some have noted here (we did not buy the Imperial mould then or at any other time; Imperial moulds were not sold until the 1980s liquidation).

Many thanks to all for the information  :thup:
