    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.

    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.

    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?

    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.

    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?

    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.

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