Q&A for How to Identify Fenton Glass

There is a collectors museum of Fenton Glass in Williamstown, West Virginia. You could try their website or arrange a visit if you're close by.

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.

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.

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.

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.

You can start by checking with local glass companies, eBay, or even Facebook Marketplace to get a baseline for its value.

In my opinion, no, because marigold is usually a yellow-brownish color, while peacocks are typically blue, green, black, and purple.
