<p>[QUOTE="emS, post: 4497794, member: 22218"]Good morning,</p><p>I have a question for any Fenton experts out there. I have a vintage Fenton covered honey dish in lovely condition. However, I've noticed that while a few of the others out there have a smooth lid (like mine), the majority have a pyramid/stepped lid like the second picture. And while I've read the stories (including in a Fenton catalog) about how it was designed by/for a beekeeper, some claim it was designed in the 1940's while others claim it didn't show up until the 1960's. The photo in the 1960's catalog clearly shows a stepped lid, so is it possible an earlier version or later version had the smooth lid? Finally, there are a few out there in milk glass - and all of those I've seen had the smooth lid. Or are there just some Fenton knock-offs and no one ever noticed? Any additional information would be helpful. Thanks. BTW, ignore the cat. She's just watching bird TV.[ATTACH]393075[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]393076[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
