<p>[QUOTE="dgbjwc, post: 192274, member: 308"]I wouldn't worry too much about it. In cases like this I usually list it something like Fenton for LG Wright Priscilla Stem in Ruby. According to my LG Wright book it's believed that Wright may have been "influenced by Fenton's Priscilla, a short-lived line made in the early 1950s." According to Whitmeyer's Fenton book Fenton produced Priscilla only in green, blue, and crystal. A piece was reintroduced in ruby in 1992 it was the 11 1/2" tray. Further complicating the issue is that other glass companies produced for Wright besides Fenton. There's a chance these aren't Fenton at all. Wright had new molds made in the 1960's for Priscilla so apparently he didn't use the Fenton molds. As you can see the whole Fenton/Wright relationship is quite muddled and there may be other research out there. Most folks won't care anyway; they'll buy and search based on the pattern name. Hope this helps.</p><p>Don[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
