Title: Fenton Florentine stretch 10 3/8" bowl....or Diamond low cupped?
Post by: flying free on February 07, 2012, 04:04:59 PM
To those of you over the pond   ;D this may not be a hugely interesting discovery, but for me...I was so excited to get this.  I would have preferred a yellow version, but this is nearly as nice.
I 'thought' it was a Fenton Florentine stretch bowl, however, I can't find one in 10 3/8" width and having looked at a previous post of Christine's and a link on there, I'm now wondering.  The rim is crackled, rough but not damaged, and it doesn't look like the smooth one apparently id'd as Fenton.  As I say, I also can't match the width of the bowl.
The foot is 3 3/4" diameter and the actual rim width edge to edge is 9 1/4".  The base is a deep hollowed out 'cup' within the foot (sorry I forgot to take a pic)
I can't find those dimensions on Diamond  Glassware either :-\  but could it be a Diamond low cupped bowl?
Thank you for any help

Hmph, you're just trying to do bigger and better  :P

It's certainly a match in many respects. I must take a photo of the base of mine

 ;D -  I've been searching for something stretch in yellow ever since I saw that bowl and candlesticks at a fair, but no luck...  I love this green though.  It looks beautiful under lighting, all shimmery and the green becomes more intense.

the applied foot on my bowl looks to be the same as the one on this linked Fenton flared and cupped bowl
