Fenton Milk Glass Lace Edge Round Flower Frog And Bowl Base Appraisal

Fenton Milk Glass Lace Edge Round Flower Frog and Bowl Base

This item is a vintage two-piece glass assembly consisting of a milk glass base with a 'Lace Edge' pattern and a clear glass flower frog insert. The base is crafted from opaque white milk glass, featuring a signature open-worked, scalloped open-lace rim that was a hallmark of the Fenton Art Glass Company, likely dating to the mid-20th century (circa 1940s-1950s). The clear glass insert is a 'flower frog' used for stem arrangement, featuring 19 individual holes designed to hold floral stems in place. The construction is heavy pressed glass, with a smooth polished finish on the milk glass border and visible molded dividers on the clear insert. No visible maker's marks are noted from the top view, which is common for Fenton pieces from this era that relied on foil labels. The condition appears to be excellent with no visible chips, cracks, or discoloration to the white glass, and the clear frog shows high clarity without significant mineral deposits or scratching often found in utilitarian floral items. This combination of the delicate 'Old Colony' or 'Lace Edge' style with a functional flower frog represents a classic piece of American decorative glassware, prized for both its aesthetic charm and practical use in traditional floral design.
