Description: Fenton Glass Compendium 1940 - 2001 All Three Volumes Established in 1906, the Fenton Art Glass Company of Williamstown, West Virginia, has long produced glassware that fires collectors' passions. The first volume of this three volume set, Fenton Glass Compendium, has over 900 color photographs that capture the vases, pitchers, tidbit trays, candle holders, teacups, console bowls, and more, produced from 1940 to 1970. Many of these coveted items appear in print for the first time. Five years of research went into the text, providing a comprehensive listing of the art glass produced and the decorative motifs employed. Values are included in the captions.

Every color, form, and glass decorating motif employed by Fenton during this period is described or displayed. An informative text recounts the production history of the art ware items made during this period (including baskets, bells, eggs, Fairy Lamps, tree rings, and special order items), along with the colors and the decorative treatments used in their creation. Manufacturer's marks used during this period are also discussed. Included as well are values in the captions and in tables.
