You are bidding on a Fenton Dorothy Taylor Aqua Opalescent Marigold Carnival Kittens Glass Mini Basket. It measures approximately 4 3/4" tall and 4" across. It is a beautiful aqua opalescent marigold carnival glass. On the bottom of the 1 1/2" base the paper Fenton sticker is missing (it was attached to the two other identical baskets that we sold). Just above the base it says "TAYLOR" which is a little hard to see. It has four pairs of kittens around the inside of the bowl of the basket. This basket is in mint condition. We bought quite a few baskets from the estate of a former antique dealer who had all of these stored in boxes in her home (a lot of the baskets are dated in the 1980s when she purchased most of the baskets so I would guess this basket to be about the same age). In one of the recent Fenton books I found some information on some of her baskets. It said "In 1978 Dorothy Taylor held the first Encore convention in Kansas. She decided that a miniature basket in Fenton's Kitten pattern would be a perfect souvenir for Encore, so she asked Westmoreland, and later Imperial Glass, to make the basket for her. Neither of these companies were able to produce it, so the mould was taken to Fenton, w many baskets were made for her". It also says, "A Ruby Carnival Kittens basket was made in 1982 to be used as a convention souvenir. read more
