Pair of Fenton Hobnail Pink Opalescent Glass Cruets

This is a matched pair of vintage cruets manufactured by the Fenton Art Glass Company. These pieces are crafted in the iconic 'Hobnail' pattern, featuring a textured surface of raised bumps or 'hobs'. The color is a vibrant pink or cranberry opalescent, characterized by a translucent base that transitions into a milky white opalescence at the rim and the tips of the hobs. Each vessel features a globular body, a narrow neck with a ruffled, crimped rim, and an applied clear glass C-scroll handle. One cruet appears to have a more prominent opalescent treatment throughout the hobs, while the other shows more translucency in the body. Both are topped with decorative clear glass stoppers featuring a textured, flame-like or pineapple-style finial. Typically dating from the mid-20th century (circa 1940s-1960s), these items showcase high-quality American press-molded glass techniques. The condition appears excellent with no visible chips to the hobs or cracks in the applied handles, though a close inspection of the stopper bases and the interior rim for flea bites is standard for appraisal. There are no visible maker's marks in the image, which is common for Fenton pieces of this era which often relied on paper labels that have since been removed.
