<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dgbjwc, post: 1943125, member: 308&quot;]I&#039;m not sure I can answer your question but I can tell you what John Walk wrote in his &quot;Fenton Glass Compendium 1970-1985&quot;.&nbsp; On pg. 50 he says that &quot;Apple Blossom and Yellow Rose were the first decorations besides Violets-in-the Snow, designed by Louise Piper in the late 1960&#039;s after the opening of Fenton&#039;s decorating department.&nbsp; Both decorations were made on a lot of the same shapes as Violets-in-the-Snow but are much more scarce.&quot;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m familiar with all three decorations John Walk mentions and have come across many examples, especially of Violets-in-the-Snow.&nbsp; I don&#039;t recall finding any pieces that showed much in the way of wear to the decoration.&nbsp; It&#039;s quite possible that at some point Fenton changed their production technique to help the decorations adhere better (especially as the decorations became more complicated and they added gold, glitter, and other fluff) but I&#039;m not familiar what that change might have been or when it might have occurred.&nbsp; Sorry I can&#039;t be of more help.</p><p>Don[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
