Vintage Fenton Bicentennial Jefferson Comport 8476 VW. This beautiful Fenton piece in Valley Forge White, produced in 1976, is in excellent condition with no marks, chips, or cracks. It was kept on a dresser in retailer my mom's extra blue bedroom. A lover of history and super enthusiast of the bicentennial, my mother bought many bicentennial items and this was one of her favorites. Featuring several busts of Thomas Jefferson, his home Monticello in Virginia, the American Eagle crowning the top, it also has four inscriptions of Jefferson's quotes: "The happiest moments of my life have been the few I have passed at home in the bosom of my family", "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants", "My confidence in my countrymen generally leaves me without much fear for the future", and "I have sworn upon the altar of God eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man". The original Fenton label and price is on the underside of the comport's top. It is 12 1/4" tall, 8 1/2" wide, and 4 1/2" deep. This comport bowl is heavy--over 5 lbs.
