COLORS: Sapphire Blue Glass lamp, white and grey marble with brass, White Milk glass shade
MATERIALS: Fenton sapphire blue Poppy Embossed lamp stand, square marble base, brass accents, clear glass hurricane, and 1940s-50s white milk glass lobed shade
SIZE: 18" tall without 2" of hurricane glass chimney protruding (included with purchase but not pictured --forgot it!).
AGE: Vintage Early to mid-20th century, 1960s (pre-1971 when they started embossing FENTON on the bottoms).
CONDITION: Collector Cherished, no cracks, chips, breakage, barely a scratch! Brass/Metal shows some tarnished, marble is good -- but felt bottom peeled away during washing. The cord needs to be updated but works. The milk glass shade is in excellent condition too, but I am not sure it is original to the lamp. VINTAGE USED: Amazing LOOK & FEEL!! All bits are Quite good for age!! I tried to reflect its good condition in the photos and video. No major damage (NO breaks, cracks, missing parts), a few small time-related very fine, barely able to see dimples, hazy clear spots, barely there scritches/scrapes, but nothing that deters from its timeless elegance and beauty. (all vintage and antique items are selected for their above-average condition for their age).
DESCRIPTION: Fenton BLUE Poppy Glass Hurricane Lamp with Milk Glass Shade - Bedside, Student - RARE mid century- Estate of Avid Fenton Collector!! The lamp lights up beautifully (could do with new wiring to be safe). A very good weight, obvious Fenton Quality!! (PLEASE SEE PHOTOS IN ZOOM on a bigger screen than a phone)
HISTORY OF FENTON ART GLASS SINCE 1905 Fenton Art Glass has been in business for over 100 years. During that time, it created decorative and functional glassware pieces using only traditional methods. In its era, it was the largest United States-based manufacturer of colorful glass collectibles. Fenton Art Glassโ claim to fame was its stunning glass colors. In particular, glass chemist Jacob Rosenthal developed the rich-looking chocolate glass and golden agate glass hues. Amethyst, aqua, ruby red, and topaz Fenton glassware also drew collectorsโ attention over the years. In addition to its blown and pressed glassware, Fenton added unique decorative elements to its glass. In fact, many glass collectibles display intricate hand-painted motifs.

๐AGE & RESELL VALUE: These are often my BEST guesstimate according to online research for expert information (those in the KNOW), or the story shared by the owner, or dated packaging. I am NOT a trained expert, simply an experienced vin'tique purchaser, AND a fairly thorough researcher thanks to my THREE Dissertations. There are so many well-intentioned humans accidentally copying or 'lightly embellishing' details. ๐ฐ๐ต$$VALUE: We research the value using a blend of Competitor Google Shopping Prices, Replacements LTD, Worthpoint, and knowledgeable experts to help ascertain the Reseller Value of each item in the store... I also compare it to other sellers of similar items and adjust the cost according to the market value. Please let us know if something seems particularly askew or inaccurate and we will review the information and change it accordingly.
๐FAKE'AROOS PLEASE Do YOUR research too -- keywords such as Imari, Roccoco, Vintage, Antique, etc...have definitions that can help you weed through some of the inaccuracies yourself. I do MY best -- always feel free to question ME and any seller where they discovered or how they know the details. Super savvy 'fakers' have existed for hundreds of years!! Of course, Some of the fakes are NOW super old antiques in themselves - haha - REALLY!
๐คฉ๐ฅฐ๐๐LOVE IT!! Once it is all said and done, buy it because you LIKE /LOVE/Want it >> ๐๐VALUE, as well as BEAUTY, is truly in the eyes and heart of the beholder.<<

๐ธIMAGES: Please review images, and ask for more if you need them before making a decision. I tried to show all the important aspects of the item...but my camera skills could use a wee bit of improvement, haha. I am learning with every photo or video captured!! Again, colors are likely to be slightly different depending on your viewing screen and the lighting in the area photographed, but I try to get the closest that my camera and screens show me.
๐ฝ๏ธ๐บ๐ธVIDEOS: I am still learning how to make quality listing videos (20-seconds BRIEF, 1:1 square & useful to the viewer!!). Hahah -- bear with me... I am getting there!! I hope I don't make you too dizzy. ALWAYS feel free to ask for more photos, or another attempt at the video focused on something you want to see!!
โจ๐SPARKLY CLEAN: All items are carefully, lightly cleaned with Murphy's oil soap, vinegar, and water, or environmentally friendly methods as appropriate to materials. BUT ๐ทI will leave the rusty and dusty, or the tarnished metal patina on items that I know buyers usually LIKE / PREFER this way.
๐๐ผ๐ฝINTEGRITY is paramount in our minds, hearts, and business!
๐ณ๏ธ๐ฆ๐ณ๏ธSHIPPING & PACKAGING: Everything is packaged and shipped with great attention to arriving safely, attractively and with a small, sweet JOYfull gratitude gift. I try to recycle high-quality boxes and packaging materials as a big HUG to the Mama EARTH! I allow EBAY/ETSY to calculate the cost of shipping and only add a handling fee for other countries as it takes a bit more effort. Anything fragile, breakable, or BIG/AWKWARD/HEAVY, has additional attention put into wrapping, cushioning, and boxing without any shakity shake shake movement. It is a heart-centered PROCESS!!
๐๐งง๐๏ธGift Wrapping: IF you let me know that the item is being shipped as a gift, I will wrap it and add a little message for you -- for FREE -- it is something FUN for me. I love gifts,wrapping gifts, and RECEIVING GIFTS - ha!!
