Crimps can't always help ID Fenton because they used several different styles and other glass makers use the same ones, also. In fact these bowls and the AA Importing bowls are very similar in shape and design. See attached photos.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, the color and pattern on your bowl is called Cranberry Dot Optic and the "reverse" pattern as seen in the catalog is Coin Dot. I know, these drive me crazy trying to remember because I want to call it Coin Dot and Coin Spot. But no, that would be too logical! LOL.</p><p><br /></p><p>Another note, based on the books by Whitmyers; Walk; and Domitz, there were not any catalogs nor many records kept on this particular color and pattern of Cranberry Dot Optic. Fenton did make several pieces for L.G.
