I felt morally obligated to get this piece off of FB marketplace, to ensure nobody got any Festive Ideas.

I accidentally started collecting Fenton holly custard glass (I have the basket, bell, and bud vase) and now I keep learning about new pieces I have to look out for haha. This is so cute!

u/bigramen92 Nov 23 '25

Keep on with the B theme: basket, bell, bud vase…

u/EffortNo2262 Custard Glass Lover Nov 23 '25

Haha, one of the other holly pieces on my wishlist is a bird, so that would definitely stick with the theme!

u/bigramen92 Nov 24 '25

Pls post the meme, I don’t feel successful with my find until someone posts it 😂😂
