Butterfly and Berry Bowl Whimsies, Fenton

Fenton's glass workers seemed to like to make whimsies as these two bowls made from the large berry bowl demonstrate. At the left is one in green where it is not only ruffled but pulled up in such a way that it rests on the collar base rather than the feet. It sold in 1998 for $225. Above is a blue example with a three-in-one edge that sold in 1993 for $250. Neither have the Butterfly and Berry interior pattern.

Shown here are a spittoon made from an amethyst berry bowl, a cobalt blue spittoon made from a sugar bowl, and a marigold hair receiver made from a small berry bowl. All are one-of-a-kind pieces.
