WE SHIP **** The AEAA is exceptionally pleased to present this lot that represents a VERY RARE FENTON MARIGOLD PETER RABBIT CARNIVAL 9 INCH collared PLATE history records that Peter Rabbit is virtually always found in England (a tie to Beatrix Potter's Peter Rabbit ) the historians indicate that our example was almost assuredly an English export. These bowls in marigold, green and blue are quite difficult to obtain, but to own one with a distinct mold strike, showing the little lop-eared bunnies at their finest, is a real treasure. There are 9” plates found in the Marigold color, and the collar base was used for these. Very few of these are known to exist ***Weight : 1# 4 oz. *** Measurements: 9 x 9 x 2.5" deep ********************************************************************************************** FENTON ********* The Fenton Art Glass Company was founded in 1905 by Frank L. Fenton and his brother John W. Fenton in an old glass factory building in Martins Ferry, Ohio. Frank L. Fenton was first employed as a glass decorator at age 17, when he went to work for the Northwood Glass Co. in his hometown, Indiana, PA, in 1897. In 1907, Frank L. Fenton proposed to Lillian Muhleman, the niece of Captain Ed Muhleman who started the Imperial Glass Company in 1901. Frank L. Fenton was responsible for the design of most of Fenton's products until his death in 1948. In late 1907, Fenton introduced "Iridescent" glass. This glass, now known as "Carnival" glass, is a popular collectible today. During the years from 1905 to the 1920's, Fenton design was heavily influenced by the artists at Tiffany and Steuben.
