Fenton Jadite Bud Vase with Hand-Painted Floral Decoration

This item is a slender bud vase crafted from opaque 'Jadite' green milk glass, a color popular in mid-20th-century American glassware. The vase stands approximately 8 to 10 inches tall and features a distinct paneled or faceted construction. It consists of a tall, tapered cylindrical neck that sits atop a hexagonal pedestal base, connected by a narrow rounded knop. The most notable decorative element is the hand-painted floral motif positioned centrally on the body, consisting of delicate white and pink blossoms with soft green foliage. The painting style is characteristic of the Fenton Art Glass Company's 'Decorated' lines, often attributed to specific artists who would sign the bottom of the piece. The rim is slightly scalloped or 'crimped,' adding a touch of elegance to the utilitarian form. This piece likely dates from the 1940s to the 1970s. The condition appears excellent with no visible chips, cracks, or significant wear to the enamel decoration, maintaining a smooth, satiny finish consistent with high-quality pressed glass manufacturing. The color is vivid and uniform, showing the classic minty hue associated with vintage jade-ite kitchenware and decorative items.
