First time poster long time collector. Looking for any and all information I can get on this vase I recently purchased at a local estate sale. I've never seen so many Fenton signatures on one piece before. Thank you.

    Definitely unusual, and the handpainting is done by someone non-Fenton.
    Are all of those signatures etched into the glsss, or have they been painted on?
    They look very 'white' and not like they are all etched?

    Welcome to our forum, Ajnthony.

    Likely an anniversary vase or a member vase - pre 2002 since Bill Fenton signed it and he passed away in 2002. Just do a search for Fenton Family Signatures on ebay and it will likely turn up

    Thanks for your reply. The signatures are painted on. I'm not entirely sure if they are hand signed, stamped on or facsimile signature. I am hoping someone has seen or owns something similar and can share. Thanks again.

    These signatures are actually not painted on, but printed on.
    When I saw the art work didn't quite look like the same artist, I saw it's a different signature of the same name on the second vase.

    EDITED TO ADD: It looks like the OP's could be an etched signature for the painter's name, but on the outside example, it appears to be done with white ink and probably printed, not painted.
