The only reason I know theses are Fenton is because one of them has a tag in the bottom of it. I went on the hunt at a couple of GW's this morning. I picked up all of these for $15. Not know what there value is I would say I had a pretty good hunt today. Please if you can tell me any more about the please do so. Are they new or do they have some age on them?
GORGEOUS!! Love and WHAT a bargain I'd say! From what I can tell these are the hobnail pattern - you can go to fentonfan.com and pull up everything you need to know about these. It will tell you what year that particular color was produced (Fenton has produced hobnail for a very long time) - The color looks to me (from the pics) like Fenton's Amberina but I could be mistaken. If you go to that site, click on the catalogs, it will show you when they came out (if after 1951 I believe) and the original advertisement! Very very nice find!
Here, you can skip a step (the searching) and just click the link for catalogs:

wksgibson Thank you soooooo much. When I found these my day was done, I felt pretty good about the hunt for today. Hunting is therapy for me. I actually go in where ever hoping not to find anything. I just can seem to do that very often. thanks again. Tomorrow or the next day I think I will do a couple of Estate sales. Thanks again
You're welcome, I do the same thing, then having too much glass becomes the problem lol - I just love love love it!
wow!!!! such beauty is in the eye of the beholder!!! love the color on the fenton!!
Thanks Weirdpuckett & SEAN68, "beauty is in the eye of the beholder!!" That's pretty much what's being said about me, You must have heard it. lol
Your very welcome Bigsarge!! :) lol!! yes I did !!
wksgibson, using your link of the catalogs My best guess is these date 1967 -1965 Not sure of the color I looked at the color chart didn't see Amberina did see Amber. I also found that many other companies used this color. not as old as I would want it to be Thanks
the fentonfan website is a good one to look thru the catalogs. I'm seeing some hobnail pieces, some thumbprint pieces and the bowl in the middle is an old McKee pattern called Quintec that has been reproduced by several makers.
I think you'll find most of these (hobnail and thumbprint) in the 1965 catalog. On the color chart the color was OR: orange, a type of pressed 'amberina'
Agreed TallCakes that's the link I gave him, but you could spend hours and days on that site - btw, can you (TallCakes), PLEEEEAAAASE look at the funky white vase I have under unsolved? I need help identifying it, I know I saw, thought it was here on CW (Sorry BigSarge, hope you don't mind borrowing some of your space to reach out lol) =)
Wow, what a marvelous collection, love that color!
I purchased the candy dish above and ash trays to match for my mother at Fenton in 1965.
Thanks Katerin and JA for your commits.
jaw dropping gorgeous.
