calling all Fenton fans

I think I accidentally bought a Fenton vase ... really ... I was hoping for Northwood ... but this is OK.

I cannot find ANY other examples of this out in the interwebs - currently for sale or even any sold.
Have I ID'd it correctly as a diamond point and columns in blue opalescent by Fenton or is it something else? It is about 11 1/2" tall with an almost 3 1/2" base.

It unfortunately has an odd mark on the bottom edge of the base ... as if a tiny square chunk was taken out and reattached. I see no glue residue under UV light ... but I don't know if I would???

I know no-one wants to guess at the value ... but I'm kinda out in the weeds here with nothing to go by ..... plus, I don't know how much that little whatever-it-is on the base affects this unknown value.

Help? Anyone? Please?

Thanks for looking!

 

Pretty!

 

correct, it is Fenton's Diamond Point Columns swung vase c1908. the defect looks like a shallow flake and maybe a tiny check which are possibly from the manufacturing process where the base was clamped to allow for reheating and swinging the reheated glass.

 

Thank you, TallCakes! So it's a true "antique" ... but ... why none shown for sale (or sold)? I will refrain from using the "r" word ... but is this style/color combo that scarce?

 

Fenton made lots of blue opalescent glass so probably not too rare but not one that show up everyday on eBay either...

 

Thanks again, TC

 

Hi,
Before I knew better, years ago, I used to refer to the color as Michigan Mint. It was the same color as a candy I used to get. Every time I see that shade of blue it reminds me of the candy.

I found some (sold) on eblech. Sold prices are all over the place; anywhere from $9 to $90. It is very pretty, I haven't seen one before! I like the combination of the pressed diamonds and the free form swung part.

 

It could be that.
It is a strange little mark.
