VINTAGE FENTON PLATE (9 1/2") - LEAF CHAIN - GREEN BASE GLASS - NICE IRIDESCENCE - $1,050 - (Bartlesville, OK)
I AM OFFERING, IN VERY GOOD PRE-OWNED AND DISPLAYED CONDITION (VERY CLEAN RARE, PRE-OWNED AND DISPLAYED EXAMPLE - LIGHT GREEN [NOT EXACTLY AN ICE GREEN THAT IS A VERY PALE GREEN AND TYPICALLY LACKS A RICH IRIDESCENCE, BUT A GREEN THAT IS SLIGHTLY DARKER AT THE BASE AND THEN TRANSITIONS TO A MUCH LIGHT AND PALE LOOKING GREEN]. NO CHIPS, CRACKS OR REPAIRS - OUTSTANDING IRIDESCENCE [FRONT AND BACK] DESPITE THE BASE GLASS BEING SO PALE AS THE PLATE EXTENDS OUTWARD FROM IT BASE), AN OUTSTANDING VINTAGE EXAMPLE OF THE FENTON "LEAF CHAIN" PATTERN ON A 9 1/2" PLATE. THE COLOR DEVIATIONS IN THE BASE GLASS USED TO MAKE THIS PLATE TRANSITION FROM A GREEN THAT IS NOT THE TRUE DARKER GREEN THAT IS OFTEN FOUND, TO A MUCH LIGHTER OR PALE GREEN AS THE PLATE EXTENDS OUTWARD FROM THE BASE SEEMS TO PROVIDE A BASIS FOR REDEFINING THIS PLATE. IN ADDITION, THE AMOUNT OF IRIDESCENCE ON THIS PLATE [FRONT AND BACK] IS ALSO UNUSUAL FOR THIS PATTERN AND SHAPE.
