Question

I have recently bought a lovely little nativity scene jar candle holder it has a label saying Fenton on it. How can I tell if it's authentic?

Community Answer

Check if it came with a card that says it's real. You could also google the serial number*. * a serial number is the line of numbers and digits that look kind of like this: LD7Q90.

Both Etsy and eBay are a good way, but Mercari is also a good option. It's up to you.

That's not a person, that's an ID! On the bottom of most lamps, and other decorations, there is a sticker, or mark with letters and numbers which explains dates and place of manufacture.

Question

I have a small elephant that they told me was a Fenton. The only thing on the bottom is a signature of D. Robinson. Is this a Fenton piece?

Community Answer

It is a Fenton and D. Robinson hand painted it. The elephant is Vaseline opalescent and has a raised trunk. It has a two-toned Vaseline color from the bottom up that fades as it rises on the figurine.

Question

My egg has painted Fenton on it and says "handprints by A Meeks #12 ./900." What would be its value?

Community Answer

Type all that information into an online search. You could also search "Painted Fenton egg makers mark" online to see if there is a list of makers marks you can check through. If not, take it to a local antiques dealer for help.

Question

I have a little solid glass shell. It looks like the black carnival glass. I got it from a thrift store and they put their sticker on top of the manufacturer's sticker. Which is round. Is it real?

Community Answer

They may have put the sticker there because of store guidelines. And removing the top sticker may be hard without damaging the original, I suggest you move it carefully an slowly; don't go too fast and not too slowly.

Question

I have a tall, pink candy dish with flowers or fruit, but I can't tell if it's real.

Community Answer

Sniff it! If it smells sweet, it's real. If not, it's probably plastic.
