Possible Early Fenton freehand?
« on: May 09, 2015, 02:50:29 AM »
Hello - my usual area is Bohemian - but this piece I got from a German seller appears to me to be American, but I'm not sure. It appears to be very close to one of the shapes used for Fenton's inlaid mosaic line. Any early Fenton experts out there who can weigh in?

Thanks in advance

Not Fenton, I'd say with considerable certainty. I would like to see a photo of the outside bottom of the piece. Those vivid colors suggest the "Memphis" style of the 1970s-1980s, and I think this piece might come from Italy.
