Fenton Holly Pattern Carnival Glass Ruffled Bowl

This is a vintage carnival glass bowl produced by the Fenton Art Glass Company, featuring the classic 'Holly' relief pattern. The bowl is constructed from pressed glass with a high-degree ruffled or crimped edge. It displays a stunning iridescence over an opalescent glass base, likely what collectors refer to as 'White Carnival' or 'Moonstone' with an Aurora Borealis-like finish. The interior is richly embossed with a wreath of holly leaves and berries, exhibiting fine detailing in the veins of the leaves. The iridescence shows a vibrant spectrum of pinks, greens, and blues when catching the light. Based on the pattern and construction, this piece likely dates to the early 20th century (circa 1910-1920s), although Fenton reissued some patterns later with makers' marks. The condition appears excellent with no visible chips or cracks along the delicate ruffled edges. The iridescence is thick and well-applied, showing no significant 'high point' wear or loss of the metallic coating. The craftsmanship is indicative of Fenton's 'Holly' line, which is highly sought after for its crisp molding and superior color saturation.
