4 Steps to Identify Fenton Glass
1. Purchase Books
The first order of business in identifying the massive number of items Fenton created over 100 years is to obtain the books that detail the pieces, their features and values. Try, "Warman's Fenton Glass: Identification and Price Guide," by Mark F. Moran, available from Amazon.com.
2. Read up on Ebay's "reviews and Guides," for an Educational and Up-to-date Source on the Various Patterns of Fenton Glass and Their Value
They also share tips on how to spot fakes.
3. Visit Fenton Fanatics on the Internet
Run by a man who has studied and collected the glassware for years, this website offers many tips for identifying the glass works. You can join their Yahoo eGroup to post any specific questions you may have.
4. Frequent Antique Shops
Ask to see their inventory of Fenton Glass to develop your skills in identifying the pieces. Thousands of styles exist today and with no more in production, the already popular glass will become more and more collectible.
