Fenton Ruby Overlay Diamond Optic Vase | Cranberry Art Glass | Vintage

This stunning Fenton Ruby Overlay Diamond Optic vase showcases the artistry of mid-20th century American glassmaking. Crafted using the “Ruby Overlay” process, gold was added to molten glass to achieve its rich cranberry hue. The piece features a bulbous melon shape, ruffled clear glass rim, and diamond optic pattern that refracts and scatters light beautifully. Originally produced as both decorative vases and perfume bottles, early versions (1940s) were typically unmarked, while later reissues (1980s onward, known as “Country Cranberry”) carried the embossed Fenton oval logo. This example, with its radiant depth and intricate form, is a collectible treasure for any vintage glass enthusiast.
