NFGS Throwback... Our Annual Membership Mice
By Sharon Fenner
We'd like you to meet our membership mice for 2020! It is rare that we hand-paint our membership mice; only happened in 2009, and again in 2010 which was our 20th year.
The lily is the flower that represents the 30th anniversary. Susan Bryan has adorned our Ruby Red mouse with a beautiful white lily. It can be yours for $60.
Our Teal mouse has a balloon bouquet; one balloon is especially for the 30th year. Truda Mendenhall created this little cutie. You can add this to your collection for $50.
They are available to all NFGS members who are current in their 2020 dues. They are limited to one of each per Primary member/household for the 2020 membership year.

Just 'Cuz it Says Fenton
By Anne Blackmore
Below: McKee Brothers Clico Pattern Sherbets. To distinguish Fenton from McKee, compare how the stem attaches to the bowl - Fenton will have two wafers or rings, and McKee will have one.
|
Below bottom: Viking, or Rainbow, Amethyst Fruit Paperweight
Below: European-made Amber-Crested Epergne. Both the horn and the bowl are the wrong shapes to be Fenton. The crest is very angular, while Fenton crests are more gently curved.
|
|
|
If you know your Fenton shapes, you will be less likely to purchase a mis-labeled piece, and more likely to find a Fenton rarety! Remember the late Tom Smith's mantra, "Know your Fenton shapes!!".
