Condition & Collector’s Notes
This piece features specific "character marks" from the manufacturing process that are common in vintage pressed glass:
The Fenton Mark: The logo on this piece is faint/indistinct, likely due to a "weak strike" in the mold. This occurs when the glass isn't pressed with enough pressure to fully fill the logo cavity, or the mold was slightly worn.
Base Characteristic: The bottom features a slight indent with a "foggy" or matte texture. This is not a chip or post-production damage, but rather a result of the cooling process or the way the glass was released from the mold (often referred to as a "straw mark" or "mold roughage").
Note on Value: In the world of Fenton, these types of manufacturing "errors" typically do not increase the value like a misprinted coin might. Generally, collectors prefer a crisp, clear logo and a perfectly smooth finish. However, because these are not "damage" (chips or cracks), the bear still holds its value as a genuine vintage decorative piece.
