9 Pc Fenton Butterfly and Berry Marigold Carnival Glass 3-Toed Berry Serving Set

Fenton sometimes used this pattern in combination with other patterns such as Panther or Peacock Feather, but this set is all Butterfly and Berry inside and out. I love the iridescence of the marigold carnival finish. I like the 3-Toed feature, with claw-and-ball feet at the edge of each of the 3 form sections. The nifty feet do make the bowls only slightly stackable though. This set would have originally come with 6 small bowls, so someone over the years has collected two extras.

8 of the 9 pieces are in EXCELLENT condition with no chips or cracks or other faults that I can see or feel. But for one small bowl which seems like a factory second. All the other bowls have been re-heated after forming to make the saw-tooth edges rounded and smooth, except for this one, which has sharp-feeling edges at the saw-tooth rim and sharp pips outside the bowl at the seams where the forms came together. I showed these with an arrow in the pictures. Look again at the last picture, which shows the color variation among the bowls: The bottom right bowl is the "factory second" and is also lighter in color.

This one bowl may even be a later more modern production by Fenton or an imitation from Korea. Berry Serving Bowl: 8 1/2" Diameter x 4 1/4" Tall.

Individual Bowls: 4 7/8" Diameter x 2 3/8" Tall.
