Vintage Fenton Green Opalescent Collectible Glass Bowl

Hello, and Welcome to Thrift Store Junkies new blog/page for LilacsNDreams main blog. Hope ya'll have found me ok here, and know this is my way of adding pages to my main blog. 

Well now, has anyone been thrifting lately? Have you had a chance to do any good junking, or treasure hunting? I myself have not had much of a chance so far. Been going through things here, donating some things, and trying to get things down in size here. I would like to make some changes with styles in our home, and have to "clean" house a little to do this. 

It's a fight to pass the thrift stores along the way of travels. The times I have stopped to go digging a bit, I just cannot seem to find anything to catch my interest when visiting. I can't even find anything appealing at the time for me to repurpose, paint, upcycle, and etc. THAT is bad when my creative side does not work with me either:(

 I would like to share this Vintage Fenton Green Opalescent Grape and Cable Collectible Glass Bowl I did get a few years ago with a private auction at a Good Will Store in my area. My pictures cannot do the piece justice. Looks like new, is marked Fenton on the bottom, comes from the 80s, and is a rare find. The color, most of this pattern was done with the carnival glass coloring which makes this find a little more rare too. I have researched it, researched, and had other knowledgable people with glassware, and Fenton help me too. Hard to find in the books. So, I contacted the Fenton Gift Shop....neat place to visit, and learn about things online too. They were able to confirm for me it was made with the Fenton mould, it is Fenton, and felt that maybe this piece might have been made for the gift shop. In that case not many were made like this, very few, and I felt it to be more of a rare find with this. 

I have listed this gorgeous piece for sale in my shop at Artfire with my other vintage collectibles. Please, visit with my shop to see the pictures, and details with this piece. 

Glad that you were able to stop here with Thrift Store Junkies, and know you are welcome to visit with us here anytime. Please, leave a comment, share with us here, and enjoy the visit. Hope to see you again!:) Take care everyone, and Happy Hunting!:)
