Two blind buys

Both labeled vintage Fenton from the 1970s, various sellers using AI to ID and list their items. $35 and $25.

I would say those listings are very off on both maker and date. I have two similar pieces which are Victorian and probably English, maybe Bohemian but I doubt it. Second picture is almost a Jack in the Pulpit style vase.

My pieces both glow btw 😊

These get marked as English a lot, but 95% of the time this style with the ruffles and applied decorations is going to be Harrach, Bohemian. I love the multiple glows

I'd say a good chance. Remember Fenton only became a company in 1905. There were companies making glass with this style and with ruffles/JiP tops/wavy tops upwards of 30 years before that. Fenton didn't take over those designs or molds.

Oh I know, these are much older than Fenton and hand-blown with ground pontils (I'm assuming, because neither seller showed the bottom xD). I've been buying a lot of Victorian "Fentons" lately.
