    sorry for sideways photo. approx 6” tall. I know to call this thumbprint. Only one close to it is in another color and footed and someone was asking if it was Fenton. DO you recognize it? I know they are repopping pieces and I have a hard time telling.
    Any help is very much appreciated.

    At least it’s hump day!

    I would call this color cobalt, not teal or turquoise.

    I agree with Bronwen, sure looks cobalt on my screen too.

    The Fenton factory closed in 2011. When you said repopping pieces, I'm not sure that you were aware of this. Or are you thinking fakes?

    It’s not cobalt or at least not what I know to be cobalt I think because my room was dark it makes it look a deeper blue than it is. It’s definitely a deep turquoise or so

    I don’t know about whether it is Fenton I found it out about the closure while researching a piece. Sorry.

    seems American Chateau is a Canada based import company and this is one of their products:
    5.5" Vintage Lead Free Glass Candy Dish Bowl with Lid AT4ND229 - American Chateau
    Amazon.com | 5.5" Vintage Depression-Style Scalloped Embossed Glass Candy Dish Bowl with Lid: Candy Dishes

    could be that the dish is/was available thru other import sources in the past.

    about Fenton; they did cease their traditional glass making in 2011 and have since sold the factory and land. However, they are still in business and concentrate on marketing glass beads for jewelry, and also contract with other glass companies to make reissues using their Fenton molds for limited editions.
