Hi Everyone! I am Amy, one of the Moderators here at Secondhandsquad.net. Part of that role is to assist with any questions you may have, so fire away! I am from Columbus, Ohio and love thrifting and perusing our local antique stores! I enjoy pieces that remind me of my grandparents and love the hunt of finding unique treasures to bring into my home. While I love the reselling business, I find my joy in giving new life to old pieces and sharing that with others.
Fenton Art Glass Company was a renowned American manufacturer based in West Virginia, famous for its high-quality pressed glass and carnival glass. Carnival glass is characterized by its iridescent surface, achieved by applying metallic salts to the hot glass during production. This specific series from the 1970s celebrated early American trades, blending historical themes with the company's signature decorative styles.
The 'Blacksmiths in English America' series consists of several plates, each depicting a different scene of colonial craftsmanship. These pieces were often sold as collectibles and are prized for their intricate relief work and vibrant color shifts. Collectors value them for their nostalgic appeal and the technical skill involved in the iridescent coating process.
