Fenton Aquamarine Hobnail Footed Bowl

This item is a vintage footed bowl featuring the iconic hobnail pattern, likely manufactured by the Fenton Art Glass Company. The piece is crafted from translucent glass in a vibrant aquamarine or 'Colonial Blue' hue. Its physical structure consists of a flared, crimped rim with a ruffled edge, a globe-like body covered in uniform raised hobnails, and a smooth, elegant pedestal stem leading to a circular flat base. The construction demonstrates high-quality press-molding characteristic of mid-20th-century American art glass. The crimping along the top edge is symmetrical, indicating skilled hand-finishing after the initial molding. While no maker's mark is immediately visible in the photograph, the style and pattern strongly suggest a production date between the 1940s and 1960s. The condition appears excellent with no visible chips, cracks, or significant surface scratches, maintaining a high luster and clarity throughout the glass. The color is consistent and saturated, which is a key quality indicator for collectors. This type of decorative glassware was highly popular for serving candies or as a centerpiece display, representing a classic example of American Mid-Century decorative arts.
