Fenton Topaz hobnail Opalescent Ruffled Bon bon dish -

This item is a Fenton Opalescent Topaz Hobnail Bowl, characterized by its signature ruffled edge and bumpy "hobnail" pattern. And perfect condition no chips, cracks or damage. This piece does have a couple of straw marks which were done during manufacturing. I have taken pictures of those areas. Be sure you check the pictures out as they are part of the description as well. Key Characteristics Manufacturer: The piece was made by the Fenton Art Glass Company, which was known for its "Victorian-style" decorated glassware. Color & Type: This specific yellow-green color was called "topaz" by Fenton. Because it contains uranium, this glass is often referred to as "Vaseline glass" and will glow bright green under a UV light. Pattern: The hobnail pattern—featuring raised dots that often graduate in size—was introduced by Fenton in the late 1930s. Era: Vintage pieces of this style were primarily produced during the 1940s and 1950s, though production continued into the 1960s. Identification Tips To confirm it is an original Fenton piece, you can check the following: The Bottom: Fenton glassware typically has a fully finished bottom with no "pontil mark" (a rough scar from where the glass was cut). Pieces made after the 1970s often have an embossed Fenton logo, while earlier pieces used paper tags that may have since been removed.
