Vintage Fenton Glass Scalloped Milk Glass Bowl

This is a vintage milk glass bowl, likely produced by the Fenton Art Glass Company during the mid-20th century, approximately between the 1950s and 1970s. The bowl is crafted from high-quality, opaque white glass popularly known as milk glass, featuring a glossy, reflective fire-polished finish. Architecturally, the piece is characterized by its wide, oval-shaped body and a distinctive scalloped or 'ruffled' rim that provides a classic Victorian-revival aesthetic common in Fenton's mid-century production. The interior shows a shallow well with a smooth surface, while the exterior likely features a pattern like 'Hobnail' or 'Silver Crest', though only the smooth interior is clearly visible here. Notably, there is a faint mark or indentation in the center of the bowl's bottom that may indicate where a maker's stamp was pressed or reflect a manufacturing artifact from the mold. In terms of condition, the piece appears to be in very good vintage state with no visible cracks, large chips, or significant discoloration. The luster of the glass is well-preserved, showing minimal surface scratches. The craftsmanship is evidenced by the symmetry of the scallops and the consistent opacity of the glass, characteristic of high-end American glass manufacturing from this era.
