Well, yours are lovely. If Mom knew about these, she didn't let on. She loved beautiful glass things like yours.<br /><br />The only Fenton I have (I think it's Fenton) is that very common green glass antique shoe with the cat head at the shoe tongue. Yes, it was bought by Grandma, so I'm pretty sure it's not a knock off. But I'm also sure there are hundreds of them on eBay every week, so it won't be going up in price... boo.1950s Atomic Ranch Househttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02460669868967006928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1593180163168779558.post-64195125020415447422011-08-31T12:43:30.820-07:002011-08-31T12:43:30.820-07:00!*$@ you

Regarding the pronu...Man, Fenton is closing again?<br /><br />Regarding the pronunciation of "epergne" I hear EE-pearn a lot in southern Ohio. But e-PEARN here up north. I hate it, too.<br /><br />I also can't stand when someone describes a bedroom suite as "suit". Yes, I know it's one of the correct ways to say "suite", but I think I'll always prefer "sweet" to "suit". That "e"'s at the end for a reason!!Funky Home Findshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03997219829429863219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1593180163168779558.post-42276635581949250752011-08-31T09:22:07.008-07:002011-08-31T09:22:07.008-07:00I didn't know Fenton was closing!!
