I've acquired some lovely vintage glass items that were collected by my now deceased mother-in-law. She had a fine eye for pretty shapes and colors and unusual objects made of glass. For instance, I had never seen or heard of glass boots and shoes pressed by the Fenton glass company here in America during the mid-century period. But she had collected a few of them, as well as a set of four top hats, two little baskets and some bowls or dishes. I find the colors extraordinary and the detail quite impressive.
I think my mother-in-law did too as I recall she had put them on little shelves in a large window and the sun would pour through them lighting them up and casting beams of amber, amethyst, olive green and cobalt blue into the room.
Now that I've got them up for sale on Ebay, I'm hoping there are other collectors out there who will want them and put them to a pretty window display use. If you looking for them, go to Ebay and look for things sold by mugsim7, that's me. Then just search on Fenton pressed glass or "glass boots" or things like that and hopefully they will pop up on your screen.
