Marks of craftsmanship...the Fenton basket



Each Fenton basket bears an individual "handler's mark" stamped into the base of the handle. Thus each basket is personally marked by the craftsman who made it in yet another way to identify handcrafted American-made Fenton glass. Put all your eggs in one basket - when it's a Fenton basket, you're building a nest egg! Celebrate collecting and start an heirloom decorating tradition with a Fenton basket this year. Baskets - perfect to give or to own!

Did you know that the Fenton website features a comprehensive listing of all basket handlers' marks? Click here for more information.

Consider owning a basket from each of our talented handler's - a great way to build a collection!
