Hobnail Milk Glass Sconces and Ceiling Light

Hobnail Milk Glass Sconces and Ceiling Light

These have been in the house since as long as I can remember. And probably were in the house when it was built in 1964 or 65. I don't really notice them anymore. They are definitely not my style, but I can still appreciate their quality.

There's 2 of the sconces and one ceiling fixture. The sconces have individual switches that can be turned on/off separately. They are currently on a switch, so they both come on. Probably can't tell, but the ceiling is the old school with sparkles in it. All three need to come down for a good cleaning.

WHAT'S A HOBNAIL?
"Hobnail glass has a regular pattern of raised knobs like the hobnail studs sometimes used on boot soles. It can be a pattern created by blowing a glass vessel into a mold, or it can be acheived by pressing the glass into a mold."

YOU HAVE NOT HOBNAIL
Hobnail has really become a generic term for this type of glass, but....

"The hobnail pattern was introduced by the renowned Fenton Art Glass Company at its glass factory in Williamstown, West Virginia, in 1939. By 1952, milk-glass hobnail became Fenton's flagship pattern, however, the design was made with clear and translucent colored glass as well."
