Fenton Glass 1939 Vintage 8" T Spiral Optic Ruffled French Opalescent Vase

Beautiful Fenton Art Glass vase with a ruffled opalescent rim. This vintage spiral optic French opalescent vase was made by Fenton and retains the original Fenton sticker. The silver foil sticker is worn but intact. Fenton originally made spiral optic pieces for only one year in 1939. This treatment was not produced again until the late 1970's at which time it was made in shapes that were not in the original line. This beautiful vase is one of the original 1939 pieces. In reference books it is referred to as shape number 186. The white color of the spiral optic design is known as French opalescent. This shape is wider at the base, has a long narrow neck, and in this case, a tri-corner crimped rim. This shape includes a twist in the glass, which can be seen and felt, running horizontally up the vase. This is in contrast to the opalescent spiral which is vertical. This is a wonderful vase to use and or display as part of a collection or as an individual piece. Very good preowned collectible condition with only a tiny bit of rust on inside bottom. I have not tried to clean it. No chips, cracks, or scratches. Measures 8"T x 4" x 4" Top, 3 3/4" at widest point, 3" base. Weight 14 oz.
