I am suddenly obsessed with turquoise - I spent hours last night commbing though my files and the internet looking for MORE TURQUOISE!! Actually, didn't find that much that I absolutely loved. But the seascape to the left is fairly juicy looking.
I also found bunches of what is called "Fenton" glass - turquoise blue glass with either only white or white plus color touches floral and butterfly decorations on it.
Here is some information from a Fenton collecting site:
Brothers Frank and John Fenton started the Fenton Art Glass company in Martins Ferry, Ohio in 1905. Their first products were painted glassware with the glass supplied by other manufacturers. But when these pieces proved difficult to acquire they decided to produce their own glass. The company turned 100 years old in 2005 with third and fourth generation family members still at the helm. . . . . The company, however, has now closed and being auctioned off on May 24, 2012.
