Fenton Wright Question

Did Fenton make all the different colors of Priscilla for Wright?
Or...did Fenton also sell this pattern under their own name?
I do see on a popular web site that this pattern in blue was
manufactured in the 90's. Just need accurate info so when
I list it, I don't sound like a fool.

 

L. G. Wright contracted with Mosser, Viking and Wilkerson between 1963 and 1994 to make this pattern, Priscilla by Dalzell, Gilmore & Leighton. During this time they had made for them 21,813 Goblets, 6,795 in ruby.

I have no data on any that Fenton may have made.

 

I wouldn't worry too much about it. In cases like this I usually list it something like Fenton for LG Wright Priscilla Stem in Ruby. According to my LG Wright book it's believed that Wright may have been "influenced by Fenton's Priscilla, a short-lived line made in the early 1950s." According to Whitmeyer's Fenton book Fenton produced Priscilla only in green, blue, and crystal. A piece was reintroduced in ruby in 1992 it was the 11 1/2" tray. Further complicating the issue is that other glass companies produced for Wright besides Fenton. There's a chance these aren't Fenton at all. Wright had new molds made in the 1960's for Priscilla so apparently he didn't use the Fenton molds. As you can see the whole Fenton/Wright relationship is quite muddled and there may be other research out there. Most folks won't care anyway; they'll buy and search based on the pattern name. Hope this helps.

Would I be correct then in listing it as Wright Priscilla?

 

I would say yes. There does not appear to be any doubt that this was a Wright product sold under the Priscilla pattern.

Thanks to both of you for your replies. It was a big help.

 

It should be listed as Wright. It makes no difference who poured the glass in Wrights mold. I do know the cherryhill has gone through Wrights records at WVMAG so it is very unlikely that Fenton pour these for Wright.
