Fenton Basket

Now , this is quite an ugly piece I think lol. I have never liked any carnival glass that has been hand painted, I find hand painted to be a bit tacky ( my opinion though , not necessarily right lol ). I find the most gorgeous patterned carnival and its colours dont require any paint on them. I would have loved this a lot more without the painted flowers, the pattern through the glass is nice enough on its own.
But I was very attracted to this piece too, I think mainly because it had the signatures of all the Fenton family on the bottom.
Although ugly , I am very pleased that this is in my collection lol.
