Vintage Fenton French Opalescent Hobnail Bud Vase - 4 In

Fenton became particularly famous for its opalescent hobnail patterns. The 'French Hobnail' pattern, characterized by its raised, rounded hobnails, was a popular design for Fenton, especially in opalescent glass. This specific type of opalescent glass has a milky white appearance that becomes more transparent at the edges, creating a beautiful, ethereal glow. The ruffled or tri-cornered rim is a common finishing touch on many Fenton vases and decorative items from this era.
