Fenton Burmese Art Glass Jack-in-the-Pulpit Vase

This is a vintage Fenton 'Burmese' art glass vase, designed in the classic Jack-in-the-Pulpit style. The piece features a characteristic satin finish with a beautiful heat-reactive color gradation, transitioning from a soft buttery yellow at the base to a delicate salmon pink or blush towards the ruffled rim. The vase stands on a stable circular foot, transitioning into a wide bulbous body that tapers into a slender neck before flaring out into a dramatic, hand-crimped ruffled top that resembles its namesake flower. The glass is opaque and displays the heavy, high-quality wall thickness typical of mid-century Fenton production. Burmese glass is notable for its uranium and gold content, which creates the unique color shift and causes the yellow portions to glow under UV light. No obvious chips, cracks, or repairs are visible in the image, although a close inspection for flea bites on the rim and internal mineral staining would be necessary for a full condition report. This style was popularized by Fenton Art Glass Company in the mid-20th century, likely dating this piece between the 1960s and 1980s. The smooth, velvety texture and uniform color blending are hallmark indicators of professional glassblowing craftsmanship.
