This is a LOVELY &
PRACTICAL Sugar & Creamer Set in
elegant "French Opalescent" Art Glass.
These ("French Opalescent") are mostly crystal clear with the heavy
veiled, white frosting at the top of both pieces.
"Hobnail", one of the best known and collected Fenton patterns, has
been in and out of the Fenton line since the late 1930s.
This pattern has distinctive 'knobs' covering the bulk of the surface
on both the sugar and creamer containers.
This set was produced during the 2010 season.
The sugar 'bowl' (no lid) measures 3" tall, and 5" wide (including the
double handles).
The creamer measures 3" tall (at the top of the spout), and 5" wide
(including handle, to spout).
Grace your table this year with this Cream and Sugar Set, handcrafted
in Williamstown, West Virginia, USA, by skilled Fenton Art Glass
artisans.
Of course, these are retired pieces. Both pieces have the oval Fenton
logo, with a script Fenton inside that oval, and the letters USA
embossed into the bottom of the glass on both the CREAMER and SUGAR.
The original price tag, that was attached at the factory is stuck on
one of the pieces.
Also, the silver foil fenton logo stickers are attached (one on each of
the pieces).
HURRY COLLECTORS...we have only ONE (1) set left!!!
FENTON ART GLASS
MADE IN THE USA
The Fenton Art Glass Company
was founded in 1905 by Frank L. Fenton and his brother John W. Fenton
in an old glass factory building in Martins Ferry, Ohio. They began by
painting decorations on glass blanks made by other glass manufacturers.
Soon, being unable to get the glass they needed, they decided to
produce their own glass. The first glass from the new Fenton factory in
Williamstown, West Virginia, was made on January 2, 1907. During its
106-year history, Fenton introduced the first iridescent ware (now
known as "Carnival glass") as well as classic patterns such as Hobnail,
Burmese and a wide variety of handmade colored art glass as limited
editions.
Sadly, on July 6, 2011, the Fenton Art Glass Company announced that it
would cease production of its collectible and giftware glass products.
The company had faced financial challenges since its restructuring in
2007, and recent developments combined to force the shutdown of its
traditional glassmaking business.
