| Enjoying the Art of Online Collecting~ For Collectors, by Collectors. |
For ease of use Fenton Hen and Rooster is compiled of several separate but linked Sections, or pages. These Sections can be
easily accessed from any page in the site via the Navigation Bar, or labeled links located in each Section. For the further
convenience of our visitors, a site wide Search Engine to assist in finding answers and helpful photos to specific inquiries is
nearly completed. Sections about topics relative to enjoying the art of successful Fenton hen and rooster collecting via the
web have been added, while other sections continue to be expanded. Please be patient as the pages and their many photos
load. We're still working the kinks out, which may require some scrolling. We are working to finish uploading the complete
site, but hope you enjoy what's been uploaded so far.
Some of the topics included are: information about Fenton Art Glass and the recent tumultuous times and changes required
for the century old company to stay in business, Fenton Art Glass's covered poultry forms, the various ways different hen and
rooster wares were marked by Fenton-and why; and an important Introduction to Fenton ware numbers, logos, labels.
Featured topics specifically relative to enjoying the art of successful online Fenton Hen on Nest and Rooster collecting are
complimented by amply sized, photo packed, Sections called; Introduction to Online Collecting of Fenton Hens and Roosters,
and another special Section called: Visible Features and Distinguishing Characteristics of Fenton Hen on Nest forms with a
Photo Essay. We hope they prove helpful to fellow collectors-since unlike Fenton's roosters, the earlier hens of the 1950s
and 1960s were not marked.
Individual Sections for each mould (shape and size) of Fenton's hen on nest dishes, rooster boxes, standing and sitting
roosters, and turkey boxes, contain large photos, close-ups of details, and information specific to the features and
characteristics of that ware/mould. The Gallery of Photos for each of Fenton's hen on nest dishes and roosters, should help
with color issues, which can be problematic when shopping online since colors do appear differently from one PC display to
another. The Galleries contain photos of the hens and roosters shown in the various colors, or types of glass each mould was
made in. Ware numbers with color codes, years of production, special notations-when applicable, and descriptions of the
differences in treatments and glass types accompany the photos in the Galleries.
ADDITIONAL TOPICS IN THE SECTIONS ABOUT HEN AND ROOSTER MOULDS:
In addition to addressing the many words and terms associated with Fenton, art glass, hens, roosters, moulds, colors andfinishes, in sections about hen and rooster forms, we've created a Glossary of Glass & eBay Terms and Acronyms. This
Glossary provides definitions for some of the e-slang, acronyms and other eBay abbreviations that are frequently seen in the
titles of items listed on eBay and other Online Selling Venues. Sections tackle topics and issues relative to online collecting,
which are frequently reported to be problematic when shopping online, such as- Determining Colors, treatments, types of
glass, and decorative designs; Issues that can arise with Sellers and how to handle them, and other useful topics with
answers and suggestions for the online shopper to add to their arsenal of collecting tools.
