<p>[QUOTE="lvetterli, post: 9878227, member: 130"]I sell a lot of Fenton. Figurines, vases, bowls, baskets, shoes. I recently sold a Hazel Atlas pitcher and 6 tumblers "Colonial Honeycomb" that I believe was from the 50's. L.E. Smith, Blenko, Viking, Fostoria, Waterford. Crackle glass. Hens-on-nests. This is from my sales reports at 1 mall in the last 2 months. At the other 2 malls, I sell a little glass, more Corningware, Pyrex, baskets and linens. I really think you have to know your market. I don't take any enamelware or rustic decor to the first place, it does best at another place. It helps to have a great venue with a good manager. The one at the first mall posts photos on Facebook every day, either "dealer of the day" or a selection of new seasonal things or even just "deal of the day". She will pack and ship things purchased over the phone. I do my best there, it's 85 miles from home but it's worth it. The other 2 are closer, one has sales around 1/2 to 3/4 of the best. The other comes in a distant third and I am downsizing there this month and may be discontinuing by the end of the year or sometime early next spring. I've been there 12 years and it will be hard to leave. </p><p><br /></p><p>I love quality glass and I do well with it. Good luck with that beautiful pitcher [USER=37]@verybrad[/USER] If I stumbled on it, I'd probably buy it, but I'd see if the vendor would take a little less first. </p><p><br /></p><p>Linda[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
