This opalescent glass bowl was produced by the Fenton Art Glass Company, an American manufacturer renowned for handcrafted decorative glassware from 1905 to 2011. The distinctive milk-white opalescent finish and double-crimped ruffled edge are hallmarks of Fenton's mid-20th century production, particularly popular from the 1940s through the 1970s. These pieces were made using traditional glass-blowing techniques, with each ruffle hand-shaped while the glass was still hot.
Fenton opalescent glass remains highly collectible among American glassware enthusiasts and vintage décor collectors. The elegant ruffled design and luminous opalescent quality make these bowls appealing as both functional serving pieces and decorative accents. Collectors particularly value Fenton pieces for their craftsmanship, nostalgic charm, and the company's significant place in American glass-making history. These bowls are sought after by those who appreciate mid-century American decorative arts and vintage table settings.
