I hope I uploaded these correctly, if not you will get the idea though. I bought all four of these lamps for 5.00 each at a yard sale when I lived in Houston, Texas awhile back. I have with NO luck been able to locate them in a Fenton book and am beginning to wonder if Fenton ever even made these or if they are made by another glass maker. Does anyone have any idea who they are made by and what the value is. I have searched on Ebay for over 6 years and have never seen any like these. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
the base is not milk glass but either alabaster or marble.... that is why I suspect the cranberry opalescent centers are Fenton.
I have many pieces of the Fenton's cranberry hobnail opalescent that is why I suspect these are Fenton cranberry hobnail opalescent as well.
THIS IS DEFINETLY FENTON CRANBERRY HOBNAIL!
i dont think AR8Jason knows what he is talking about on these . fenton made the cranberry insert hobnail parts and then supplied them to other manufacturers so they could be made into lamps. all of the lamp except for the cranberry ball inserts are made by another company and Not fenton. been collecting for years and i am 1000% positive the cranberry inserts are fenton. not worth very much...but sure worth more then the $5.00 you paid for each lamp. on a good day, you could get $50.00 a piece for each lamp. thanks for sharing!
@AR8Jason........... Thank you for your thoughts..... and no worries and I fully understand whatg you are saying. I only posted them hoping that I could find out more about them and thank you so much for your thoughts, afterall.... this is what this site is all abot ;). I don't care if they are work a quarter, I bought them cause I love them. Thank you !
@ Fenton-hobnail.... thank you but I love them no matter what ;)
That is exactly what I am going to use them for..... :)
I believe the Cranberry Hobnail parts are from Fenton as I own a Fenton Cranberry Hobnail Cream & Sugar Set my mother owned & they match them nicely, as well as a few other pieces of the same. If I still have the old book from my aunt, I'll look these up. I believe I saw a chapter concerning Fenton doing pieces for other company's in it. Regardless of who made them, they're very nice & would compliment & illuminate your Fenton Glass collection nicely! Enjoy them, I surely would!
