Thanks, Ken. There's no Fenton on the vase. There is the oval that is right in the middle of the pontil area. The oval is not elevated. It has an elevated line and a dot in it, but no letters.

Yes, it's Fenton. This vase was sold on QVC in the year 2000, and it's pictured on p. 96 of the book "Fenton Glass: Especially for QVC." The color is iridized Spruce Green Overlay (Spruce Green on the outside, Milk Glass inside). This is a blown piece, so the logo (Fenton in script with a small 0 underneath, all within an oval) can be very hard to discern. That's one of the things we have to live with when making handmade glass. The pattern, Jacqueline, originated in the early 1960s and was named for First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy.

Thank you, James. This one has been an interesting one to track down. I hadn't been able to find the color, but thought it might be one of your shades of green. I had thought maybe celeste. I had not heard of spruce green before now. You have saved me a lot of research time. Thank you.

Nothing much more, but just found another example of the pattern from the 1960's, and as jsmeasell says:  named after the Jacqueline Kennedy.  See Here same Pattern

I imagine that Pattern would take some interest to you, as wasn't JF Kennedy shot in Dallas, Texas -- TxSilver?  It is very pretty pattern (colors, and design).  A keeper !!  :thup:
