Fenton Candy Jar Appraisal

Fenton Amber Glass Swirl Candy Jar and Hobnail Egg-Shaped Footed Vase

This set contains two distinct pieces of vintage Fenton Art Glass crafted in a warm, translucent amber hue. The first item is a lidded candy jar featuring a decorative swirl or handkerchief-style body with embossed scrollwork and a matching lid topped with a flame-style finial. The molding shows high-quality craftsmanship with thick glass construction and rounded pedestal base. The second item is an egg-shaped vase or toothpick holder featuring Fenton's iconic 'Hobnail' pattern. This piece is elevated on three graceful cabriole-style feet and terminates in a scalloped rim. Both items exhibit a consistent honey-to-amber coloration that reacts beautifully to light, a hallmark of mid-20th-century pressed glass. The condition appears to be excellent vintage quality with no visible cracks or large chips, although typical shelf wear on the bases is expected for items likely dating from the 1960s to 1970s. The clarity of the amber glass suggests well-maintained pieces without significant clouding or 'sick glass' syndrome. These items represent the Early American Preserved Glass (EAPG) tradition revitalized by the Fenton Art Glass Company, showing high uniformity in the hobnail spacing and a clean join between the feet and the body on the egg-shaped piece.
