    Found this at a church sale on Friday and since I'm adding it to my collection of green pottery and glass things, would like to add to what I have already figured out on my own.

    4.25 inches tall, about 3.5 inches at the widest part. Has the black and gold "worker" label which I gather is 70's into the 80's. "Mint"? green - it was hard to capture the actual color and the relief floral décor in our lousy light. The underside has 3 slightly splayed legs and diamond "crosshatching" with a triangular shape in the bottom center.

    Is there a design name for this décor? Shown in any of your vintage catalogs for a narrower idea of when made? A more specific name for the color? Anything else you might know that I didn't think to ask? :)

    I found this one on Pinterest. Altho a member, I can never remember my PW. Perhaps you also are a member.

    Of course "Fenton" will know all you want to know.

    You will need to scroll down to find it.

    I'm not a member, but at least there was a summary description with interesting "keywords." "Satin sanded?" Mine has a very smooth surface - I would not have thought "sanded" but "satin" I buy.

    I'm hoping Fenton will be around - one reason why I was sure to put Fenton in the title. ;)

    Cool! Thanks, TallCakes! I was thinking "lime" at one point - like lime sherbet, but the light keeps changing what I see.

    Thanks, Peggy. They certainly made a lot of different shapes in this color!

    According to John Walk's book, this is Fenton's #8457 3-toed Grape Vase in Lime Sherbet Satin. He lists this vase as being produced only in 1978-1979. It also came in Blue Satin and Custard Satin. Very pretty vase!

    Interesting! Thanks, Fenton. It was pointed out somewhere up there ^ that the molded design is Grapes and grape leaves, rather than the "floral" I had put in my OP. The rest of it is the same as the Northwood mold. Did they also do Grapes?

    Those are Roses on the Rosebowl.

    I assumed "rosebowl" because of the shape, but Don said this:

    I agree that those certainly are roses on Northwood's "rose bowl" but did they (Northwood) also do that shape with grapes and grape leaves? Or did Fenton just take the basic mold shape to add their own "grape" design?
