Fenton Carnival Glass Leaf Tier Tulip Vase

This is a Fenton Art Glass company 'Leaf Tier' tulip-style vase, demonstrating the classic carnival glass iridescent finish over a base glass that appears to be a soft lavender or rosalene hue. The vessel is constructed on a short, multi-footed pedestal base that transitions into a deep, tulip-shaped bowl composed of six stylized, overlapping leaf-form petals. Each petal features a highly detailed, molded vein texture that creates a rhythmic, ribbed exterior surface. The iridescence provides a metallic luster with a varied spectrum of color, including oil-slick greens, purples, and golds that shift depending on the light angle. The top rim is characterized by deep scalloping following the natural crests of the molded leaves. The craftsmanship reflects the early to mid-20th-century American pressed glass tradition, likely dating between 1910 and 1930, though the pattern was reissued in later decades. The interior of the bowl is smooth with a lighter pinkish pearlescent glow. In terms of condition, the glass appears structurally sound with no deep chips or cracks visible on the petal tips, which are the most vulnerable areas. The iridescence remains strong across the body but may show light fading on high-contact points. This piece exemplifies the Art Nouveau influence on American pressed glass through its organic, botanical inspiration and complex surface treatment.
