HOW TO CHOOSE? | HUGE COLLECTION! | ART GLASS CONVENTION & SALE

FANTASY FENTON PIECES FIND ME! | CONVENTION PREVIEW | RESELLER
It's not just what you know, it's where you know to look! A hunt through the attic of an antique mall reveals a 40-year collection of Fenton art glass, including samples, rarities and one-of-a-kinds that will make a hit at the upcoming convention in Marietta, Ohio, and I'm picking all I can fit in the van to head east. (More convention info and reservations are still available ‪@RosiesAuctionHouse‬ here on KZbin!)
I'm selling as well as appraising at that convention, so to have a last-minute chance to show you all the breadth of Fenton's artware production while picking and choosing what to take to Marietta is a fantastic opportunity! We get a good gander at so many varied styles, colors (including different shades of uranium glass) and shapes from decades of their work, including things you'd never guess bore the Fenton label.
We discover some of the artists (surprise! There's even Italian styles and cameo glass in Fenton), gawk at a huge range of art glass house and gift ware, and really appreciate how vast and impressive Fenton's century of production truly is! To choose just six boxes to take to Ohio seems impossible, but in the end we show what we're taking to the Lafayette Hotel convention, and what we're leaving for visitors to Star Center Mall in Snohomish, Washington.
Here's a list of styles and shapes we see in Fenton during this marathon pick:
Hanging lamps, hurricane lamps, oil lanterns, Wavecrest style boxes, beverage sets, dresser sets, animal figures, Santas, fairy lamps, cameo glass vases, feather pull vases, silver overlay vases, clocks, figurines, dresser boxes, Alley Cats, bulldogs, pitchers, cruets, paperweights, eggs, ginger jars, jack-in-the-pulpits, epergnes, dealer signs, bowls, trays, baskets, sculpted and etched glass, shoes, hats, covered dishes, candlesticks, etc. in finishes and colors like Burmese, Rosalene, cranberry, 1960s orange, 1980s teal, satin, painted, vaseline ("uranium"), custard, cased, crested, Charleton decorated, carnival, Vasa Murrhina, etc. and patterns ranging from Coin Spot/Coin Dot and Persian Medallion to Hanging Hearts and Opalescent optic...so many varieties!

[@marybeth4002]

I'm speechless - I had no idea that Fenton produced all these different and high-end pieces. All of the pieces are just stunning. Your friend, Marian is smiling down on you and wishing you well. Thank you so much for sharing this collection.

[@persiphonehellecat]

That is going to be so hard to choose! I would take pictures and make a book to sit on the table so that people could order pieces you don't take!

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Oh, we'll have a lot of sales and options for people that way! Stay tuned

[@janetpogue4970]

I really enjoy your appraisals. Fun to meet the owners of the pieces and see their treasure.

[@TheGuitologist]

I had no idea Fenton did 90% of that stuff.

[@dearbh1736]

Sadly George, being in Ireland I can't make the convention but I have soooo enjoyed this video and clearly you enjoyed making it. You are looking fantastic - I think when you are surrounded by things you love it makes you glow too - are you sure you haven't been spending too much time around Uranium? 🙂 I love the selection you picked, a little bit of everything and it was a really hard thing to take it down to a small selection but I think you did that lovely lady proud and she would be delighted with you, may she rest in peace. I fell in love with everything you pointed out and was glad you picked the colourful alley cat. Good luck with the convention. Hope you are able to bring us a little bit of footage from it. No matter how often I watch you I am still always jaw-dropped at how much detail you carry around in your head. You are definitely one of a kind. Thank you George. Love and good wishes from Eire ☘☘💕💕

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Thank you so much! Perhaps I am reacting to the uranium salts lol. I hope to do Marion proud, she assembled such an amazing collection. There'll be footage! Thanks again for the well wishes

[@lyndatro5158]

I think you need to upgrade to a big rv!! More room to take your treasures lol

[@teresadowns6845]

Can't wait to see it. What an amazing display. Thanks for sharing!!

[@Gigi-000]

[@puppy2haley]

Thank you George for this wonderful informative video on Fenton… WOW WHAT A WONDERFUL COLLECTION!! Condolences on the loss of your friend Marion. ❤️❤️

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Thank you, she had a wonderful life though! I am thrilled to get to share her legacy.

[@denisemcnabb]

Good luck George! You will enjoy your time, make new friends and sell tons of items. Of course keep us informed. We all love to watch your nomadic adventures!!

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Thank you so much! I plan to show a lot of it.

[@Brabronacus]

If I could give you 100 thumbs up I would. You were right when you said the store could have held the convention. So, so beautiful. You will be making so many people who are attending the convention happy. I can't wait to see your booth display.

[@llmifg]

I'm of two minds about Fenton. Or maybe one mind, and my thinking is very influenced by my mom who told me back in the 80's that only the "old" Fenton was any good. I do like the marvelous designer pieces, especially by Kelsey Murphy and Robert Bomkamp I've never seen these before. Thank you for showing us.

[@carolgadles7045]

My favorite will always be the Fenton lamps and anything hobnail I love. Love all the colors. I’m in awe at everything you’ve shown us. Thank you so much George ✨✨✨✨

[@JohnnyRFrias]

Hey George. Fenton is one of my first choices when I started collecting glass. Have a nice trip, don't break anything.👍😁

[@marywhite6931]

Thank you for sharing such an amazing Fenton collection.

[@dorothyrobdau7365]

The same...I just never knew that Fenton made so many different styles of glass! So beautiful. Good luck at the convention.

[@tammyreneewalker5244]

That has got to be the most amazing collection I have ever seen. Never knew there was such a variety. Great choices George!💕

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Thanks so much! I wanted you all to know the breadth of Fenton's work

[@dlday7821]

I love the cranberry glass so much to enjoy!

[@judithjohnson2111]

Wow. What a treat George. Thanks so much. Need to watch this again. Unreal how much to see.😳👍

[@crittergirl3647]

Wow! That sure opened my eyes about Fenton!

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

So much more than you'd imagine!

[@aaronandrews3059]

Wow! What an amazing selection of Fenton glass. It ism such a shame they closed down.

[@martisteele6542]

Wow, so much Fenton!!! Have fun at the Convention!

[@angelsvintagetreasures]

Hiya George! Nice to know you have a booth in my 'backyard'! I'll have to go see it sometime. Such beautiful pieces.

[@deblepley7755]

You are going to have a great time I’m certain. Love the lamps, baskets , and those smiley cats steal my heart every time. Thanks for showing us this remarkable collection , George. Deb❣️

[@carolhearn8157]

Great video! Marion's shop was always wonderful but the new space looks larger and brighter. Good luck at the convention.

[@floridavintagesellerakapatti]

Wow what an amazing variety of Fenton. Just beautiful.

[@shainazion4073]

She had some really great pieces. Thank you for showing us.

[@Gypsy_merch]

I have seen this booth and it beautiful to see ❤

[@marthaschumaker]

What a breathtaking collection! Thank you for sharing it with us. You are amazingly knowledgeable George.

[@francesh3423]

Your friend Marion had impeccable taste, such an incredibly breathtaking collection 😍 Adore quality art glass and companies like Fenton seemed to have made it accessible. Thanks for the guest artists' background stories; I own and have sold a few Rossi pieces here in 🇨🇦, didn't know the connection.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

I was surprised about that connection as well! Thanks for your appreciation

[@kathymorrison3619]

Sorry for your loss. What a beautiful collection she left behind.

[@crankyladyvintage9434]

I love Fenton - that would be too difficult to pare down. Wow, you picked a nice array to feature. Thank you for creating this video, George.

[@carolegernett4351]

AMAZING!! So many patterns I never knew existed!

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

I know, right? Fenton did so much more than people think

[@deborahnay8736]

Louisiana here! I did not know Fenton made so much stuff. Love it all. Be careful with your Fenton. Be safe.

[@juliehennessey7340]

Oh my! So many amazing pieces!! Good luck trying to decide. 😄

[@racheltaylor8975]

What an amazing collection!

[@anginaheartbreaker]

How wonderful ❤️

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

You are so kind

[@george.carrasco]

So many choices! Love it!

[@levcath13]

What GORGEOUS pieces!!! Thank you for sharing ♥️

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

this was a fun one

[@CONSTELLATION_PEGASUS]

Good evening, George! Love that pond boat, at the beginning. Those lamps modeled after old oil lamps are something I like that Fenton made. There was a blue custard glass peacock vase there. I have one like it in green. It still has the lable on it. Loved that hanging Victorian hanging lamp. I liked the ruby epergne. I have one like that in blue. The Kelsey Murphy/Robert Bomkamp pieces with the multi-colours on the black are fantastic. It looked like an antique pickle condiment jar there. I like the Burmese and green epergnes. You made seriously fantastic choices to take to the show! I'm sure you would've liked to have taken all of it. It's a shame Fenton went out of business, after all those years of making such fantastic glass! Thanks for showing us all of this fantastic glass!!!

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

I’m so excited that you spotted things I did and things I missed too! I think I’ll have to go back to this video myself

[@leithsapitan1428]

I want everything! Please. Deer, cats, for sure! Fairy lights, epergne, and Jack in the pulpit. Get all of those.

[@cherylhuot4436]

That was an amazing tour! Thanks George!

[@thriftedflip]

Great pieces - Hard to choose! 👍 👍 👍

[@hersheybar8987]

My very favorite sub ! Love George & crew !!! Going back & watching all of your older videos, loving them all & making sure I click that like button ! Wanted to share with you that I was recently introduced by you to "Metlox California Freeform-MOBILE" pattern dinnerware. WOW ! I flipped. Every time I see this pattern, my mind begins to replay that Donald Fagen song, "New Frontier". That video & those dishes were meant to be together. Hope you'll go back & replay the old Fagen video, it's timeless; "wearing Ambush & a French-twist" HA! LOVE IT! Hope you enjoy that old Donald Fagen official video. Love to all from the Heart of Dixie, Alabama !!! Roll Tide Y'all !!!

[@julielamb9983]

How beautiful!! I want them all :)

[@angelad.8944]

I am Canadian and love my Chalet glass. I grew up knowing Chalet glass. I had no idea that Rossi did stuff for Fenton. Proof that you learn something new everyday in this business. I love it!

[@lissamarschall4401]

I love your tour of this Fenton Glass. The one I would like to have was a pink satin glass table lamp. Peace love and happiness

[@tonydavid7898]

So beautiful. I’d go nuts trying to chose. I love it all!

[@leithsapitan1428]

Everything you picked!? Omg! Ultimate.

[@sarahj.8372]

Thank you thank you thank you...I would so love to be there...one of my last gifts from my grandma was a Fenton bear ,,,clear with pink heart, I just love all you have shown...I had no idea except what you were telling us....thanks ever so much...I adore glass..always went to those Rain of Glass shows..not sure if they are still on..this Fenton show sounds like a dream..how wonderful to represent your dear friend as well.

[@sativakween6007]

I wish socal had shops like this!!!

[@marymcfarland2089]

I did not see the wonderful glasses with the jadeite stems - hope they make it. Also - how about a plus for Williamstown WV home to Fenton and proudly held in the hearts of this small town community.

[@catfunksfabulousfinds]

I didn't know they made bears & trees. Next year I'm going. Amazing beautiful things!

[@nanettemiller4462]

Omg love it stunning prices I would have bought the whole dang store thanks for sharing

[@pammywhammy3521]

Amazing!!!👍❤😁

[@shainazion4073]

The lavender pink basket above your head at the end of the video was exquisite,

[@afolsom685]

Good heavens George! That is beyond amazing! So much and such a wide spectrum. Wondrous. I am sure you are going to have a fabulous time at the convention.

[@toodleztrinketz7346]

Oh I love the Fenton Elephants

[@winkingowlantiques3422]

Wow, just amazing!! 😲😍

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Hi Barb! That really is a collection

[@debbieking9917]

I started collecting Fenton when I was a little girl. Maybe 10 . I have pieces that only have Fenton wrote on the bottom in a tiny oval. I have never been able to find these on eBay.

[@FatBirdFinds]

Love this video!! I wish I was going too! I am growing more and more fond of Fenton. I may have to become a collector if I can settle on which style I like best!!!!

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

I like some of it really well! It's. more traditional by and large than my style, but they made so much that there's lots to love for modernists too

[@annswann1941]

So awesome! I’m absolute newbie and seeing all of this Fenton was amazing

[@MimisTreasureCottage]

Wow! It's like a Fenton museum! I was just in Marietta last weekend and marveled at how many Fenton pieces were at the local antique mall. Of course it made sense because Marietta is just across the river from where the factory was. I'm really surprised that there is such a collection all the way out in Washington. The Lafayette hotel is very cool. I wish I could join you, but my shop is participating in our town's sidewalk sale this weekend. Enjoy your time there.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Washington and Oregon are super hot glass collecting markets, so she was able to build quite a business and inventory! I wish you could join us too but good luck at your sidewalk sale

[@lenaray6257]

Nothing more beautiful than red nothing

[@elainereed4842]

Beautiful Collection!!!Cranberry Opalescent Coin Dot and Swirl patterns are a favorite 🤩 Love the Burmese too. We sold Fenton in the flower shop I worked at in the 70’s. My Boss got me hooked on it. She had a fabulous Cruet collection! Thanks for sharing, I just saw a multitude of items I didn’t know existed! They really were a Superior Glass Company!

[@dianapearce6642]

Wow!! Just wow!!

[@iamgabriel5823]

This is extreme eye candy for me! I sure hope that stunning glass like this having a renaissance. I never get tired of looking at it. I don't envy you having to choose which ones to take -- it would have to be so hard. Sadly, glass just doesn't sell well in my shop in California.

[@kathleenmcbride4838]

Such a variety and so beautiful! Thank you for the tour. I had no idea that Fenton did so many styles!

[@janetpogue4970]

❤ Hi George, thank u for your videos ❤

[@barbcarpenter7207]

I hope Fenton is represented in the Smithsonian. Thank you for this wonderful video. I am amazed.

[@alesiasteele869]

Wow. It is all stunning. I am always looking for a alley cat. Hope you have a amazing time.

[@5262janna]

How wonderful!

[@casinokat1]

Oh my word!!!!?!?!!!! This is totally amazing !

[@casinokat1]

I could spend the whole day looking at those! I d be glass drunk

[@danahaines2778]

Hoping to go. Have been to Fenton a few times and been to the Lafayette many times. I live about one hour away.

[@eileendriscoll4002]

Wow lots of treasures there!

[@barbmcintyre1792]

I have been there shopping. Such great selection of Fenton Glass. Love it all!

[@sheila8730]

Stunning collection.

Wow, wish I could be there. Maybe next year. Have fun.

[@valeriegalmish2993]

[@julievanerem9578]

If I walked into an Antique mall and saw that collection.... Id just pass flat out

[@gardendaisy]

Beautiful stuff

[@Goodsonvintagetreasures]

Great choices

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

It was a pleasure to have such options!

[@Moekristie]

That was so interesting ... Identifying glass is so hard I think ... My best efforts have mostly failed lol thanks

[@catfunksfabulousfinds]

Wow looks like you should of pulled a trailer George! I could of helped if I would of known. Road trip lol

[@deanviewofachateaumybandbi7899]

I have learn't so much, i have some milk glass, mainly white.
