    20171103_112955-COLLAGE.jpg 20171103_133032-COLLAGE.jpg View attachment 97201 View attachment 97201 Well this is my first post! People here are sooo helpful!
    Anywho,...I have had this (10'in) vase for several years and don't know how to describe and price it.
    The options for the description is too vast for me, lol
    Is it Milk glass I thought is always white. Right? Is it Opalescent glass?
    Pressed glass, blown glass, carnival glass, elegant glass?
    What is the style Art Deco? What is the glass making technique?
    Sorry about all the questions *)
    I am waiting for answers before I list it for sale....
    Thanks for listening:headphone:

    Are you sure it's Fenton? I would call it a hobnail aqua swung vase. It doesn't appear to be opalescent and it's not art deco. These were more popular in the 60's and 70's. I'd call it MCM or modern.

    Thank you :) I thought the term swung vase is referring to the one half side that is swooped lower on one side? But I do agree that it is not Opalescent.

    Similar to 'Boggy Bayou' but not quite the same, as well as I can tell.

    Oh, swung is how it's made. They were literally swung to make longer.

    Thank you & I did find similar vases with the Opalescent sheen and similar style but I had searched Fenton and that's why I thought it to be Fenton.

    You're correct, and this one may or may not be swung, but I totally must have spaced out when I looked at it - I thought it had the typical swung finish on it as you described, but it doesn't.

    Yes, that's why I was baffled because it doesn't have the finish like I've come across....
