VINTAGE FENTON LIGHT BLUE OPALESCENT HOBNAIL GLASS CRUET MADE IN AMERICA
This collectible glass cruet was made by Fenton in 1999 in the United States. Fenton Art Glass Company, who had been in business since 1905 was started by brothers Frank and John Fenton. This famous company became the largest manufacturer of handmade colored glass in the United States. Can you imagine? After more than 100 years, the third and fourth generation of the Fenton family decided to cease production of art glass, although a company in Ohio bought their molds and may produce Fenton pieces in the future. In 2017 the buildings were demolished and Williamstown Elementary was built on the site in Williamston, West Virginia. We found a wonderful site while searching for information. Spruce Crafts had so much fabulous information and excellent pictorial examples.
