Fenton Blue Opalescent Carnival Glass Strawberry Pattern Ruffle Bowl

This is a vintage Fenton Art Glass bowl featuring the classic 'Strawberry' pattern, characterized by embossed strawberries, leaves, and vines emanating from the center. The item exhibits a striking blue opalescent base glass over which a carnival iridized finish has been applied, resulting in a vibrant play of color including pinks, golds, and greens across the interior surface. The bowl features a deeply crimped or ruffled edge, a hallmark of Fenton craftsmanship that provides a dynamic silhouette. Measuring approximately 8 to 9 inches in diameter, the piece sits on a collar base. The glass shows a milky opalescent quality at the translucent ruffled rim, which contrasts beautifully with the deeper blue-purple hues of the bowl's body. The craftsmanship is high, with clear mold definitions on the fruit and foliage. While no visible chips or cracks are apparent in the image, the surface maintains a lustrous patina typical of early to mid-20th-century carnival glass. This specific combination of the strawberry mold and opalescent iridized finish is highly sought after by collectors of American pressed glass from the 1910s-1920s era.
