Fenton Winterberry

I love Fenton, but not just any kind of Fenton. Don’t we all, by virtue of things that give us good memories, or make us smile, or make us curious, tend to collect things for more than one reason?

Absolutely we base it quite often on aesthetics,  or what may rise in value, but just as often we base it on something that gives us great memories or may not rise in value, but just makes us curious about how it was made and the time period in which it was developed

Being from Pennsylvania and West Virginia, and spending a great dea of time outdoors there til just about ten years ago, Fentons Winterbrry items, for me, evoke the snows of West Virginia, the beautiful hills and the bright crimson of the winterberries which cling to the branches long after the first snows have settled on the ground.

A Native American father spent a great deal of time walking with me, explaining what was and wasn’t good to eat, what could be used for tea and make you feel better in some way. Winterberries, which he called Fever bush, brings back memories of those times as well and I grab up those pieces wherever I find them.

Winterberry design is available on a wide array of Fenton glssware, from a white fawn, to a bird, to a fairy light, and I cant’ seem to pass one up.

Check out these offerings and see if you don’t agree tht the stunning splash of red and green makes for a striking display that brings up a few happy memories of your own.
