My father was in WWII and collected many items

Category
Asian Art
Condition
Excellent
Description

My father was in WWII and he collected many items. He was stationed in New Guinea as an engineer, he helped build one of the first airports there, General Eisenhower came to see it after it was completed.

While in New Guinea and other surrounding areas he collected many handcrafted wooden items and cloth from silk. Unique to the Philippines, piña is an extraordinary textile made by weaving the fibers of the leaves of the pineapple. A beautiful Chinese lace tablecloth, this is for a very large table, there are other items that my father collected other than items from WWII.

Is this a Fenton Vase or just a replica?

Category
Glass
Condition
Good
Description

Is anyone able to help me identify this vase? It has a lot of characteristics of Fenton but I've been unable to find a mark on it anywhere. I notice there is a few small air bubbles throughout, nothing majorly notable. There is also a black fleck inside the glass which doesn't seem would pass Fenton inspection, but again, I'm unsure. Any advice on how to get a better idea of the manufacturer? Thank you in advance!
