Title: Fenton Bowl ?
Post by: theElench on March 05, 2022, 11:33:12 AM

Can anyone I.D this bowl please.
It's yellow / green (Vaseline) glass with an iridescent (pearlised?) finish.  I've found similar shaped bowls made by Fenton but they all seem to be "Stretch Glass" with distinctive surface markings that I can't see on this one.  Nor can I find any Fenton marks in the glass.
The rim diameter is 6 3/4 inches.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It's difficult to tell from the photos how it was made, I assume it is moulded and hand finished. Has it got a pontil mark of any sort, and as you describe it as vaseline glass, does it contain uranium? I thought at first it might be Walsh but I don't think it is.

I'm sorry, I now realise I've put this in the wrong section.

I can't see anything I recognise as a pontil mark, photo 1 shows the base in case there's something I missed.
Photo two is what I think is the remains of a mould seam.  There is another similar mark exactly opposite this one on the other side of the  foot.
Photo three is taken under the UV light from a small battery powered "note checker" type torch.

Definitely moulded and uranium glass, I can't help with an ID though.
