Milk Glass Hobnail Bud Vase

This is a milk glass bud vase featuring a distinctive hobnail pattern. The vase is crafted from opaque white glass, characteristic of milk glass, which gives it a soft, milky appearance. Its form consists of a relatively narrow, elongated neck that flares slightly at the rim, leading down to a bulbous, wider base. The entire surface, from the neck to the base, is adorned with uniform, raised hobnail bumps, creating a tactile and optically interesting texture. The hobnails on the neck appear slightly smaller and more densely packed than those on the wider base. The rim of the vase is smoothly finished and gently everted. The glass appears to be in good condition with no visible cracks, chips, or significant wear. There are no discernible maker's marks or signatures visible from the photograph. This style of hobnail milk glass was particularly popular from the mid-20th century, notably produced by companies like Fenton Art Glass Company, though without a mark, attribution is difficult. The craftsmanship suggests a molded glass production process, typical for such items. Its pristine white color makes it versatile for various décor styles, and the hobnail pattern adds a classic, somewhat vintage aesthetic. The item's condition indicates it has been well-preserved.
