Help with a couple of weekend finds.

[SEANO]

Picked these two items up last weekend. I would usually just pass by them, but it was such a great sale that I took a chance. I likely over paid, but did so well at the sale its not really a big issue if I did.

Any help would be great. Thank you!

The Amber one looks like an Art Glass Purse Vase possibly hand made.
The other looks like satin glass possibly made by Fenton.

If it's Fenton, it'll be marked as Fenton. Fenton was an art glass company until they shut down. Saw Bill Fenton (I think it was his name) on QVC and he even showed the different marks on various pieces that would Identify the specific artist that made it. Got to go to the Fenton factory once and it was fasinating to watch the process.

Early Fenton was marked with paper labels
Paper labels were removed or came off when the glass was washed


Here is one on sale on Ebay:

Thank you mjlalt, you were right on with your ids. I may throw them on Ebay and see what happens, if nothing I'll resell them at my tag sale.

"Just because your vase does not have an embossed logo or a paper label does not mean it was not made by Fenton. Many of the early paper labels have worn off or were removed."
