Fenton Burmese Glass Hand Bell with Holly and Berry Motif

This is a vintage hand bell crafted from Burmese glass, a specialty art glass produced by the Fenton Art Glass Company, likely dating to the late 20th century. The piece exhibits the classic heat-sensitive Burmese coloration, transitioning from a delicate canary yellow at the base to a soft, salmon-pink blush at the upper portions of the handle. The bell features a molded body with four oval medallions or panels separated by raised vertical ridges. Two of these panels are hand-painted with a festive 'Holly and Berry' motif, consisting of green textured leaves and small red berries. The long, slender handle is molded with a twisted or spiral satin texture terminating in an almond-shaped finial. The overall finish is a soft, non-reflective satin or 'acid-etched' texture characteristic of Fenton's high-quality craftsmanship. In terms of condition, the glass appears structurally sound with no visible chips, cracks, or deep surface scratches. There is minor evidence of shelf wear on the bottom rim and some faint darkening or dust accumulation in the recessed areas of the molded design, which is typical for aged satin-finished glass. The hand-painted enamel shows good preservation with minimal loss to the pigments. While no logo is visible in the primary photo, such pieces typically bear an oval 'Fenton' stamp in the glass or a companion paper label if it were in mint original condition. This item is a quintessential example of mid-to-late 20th-century American decorative art glass.
