this is a great set of fenton hobnail pitchers there are so many different colors. my favorite is the large green one on the left. it is an almost impossible item to find. it was made in the early 1940's and was made for less than a year making it very scarce and hard to find. the amythest pitcher is another one of my favorites and is a newer fenton piece but was made in limited quantities.

Fenton has made so many beautiful pieces of glass.Try a blacklight on the green one.It may be vaseline glass.The topaz def is.And you gotta love their cranberry pieces.A great collection!
they have made so many beautiful pieces. the green pitcher does glow under the blacklight. thank you very much for your comment.
I'm still in need of a black light! I haven't tried any of mine! I didn't know tat the green glowed. How about the emerald hobnail candle bowl, does it glow also?
no, emerald green does not glow. thats how you can tell it from regular green opalescent. you really need to get one of those black lights. they really bring pieces to life!
By emerald you mean the dark green?If so probably not.Walmart has blacklights for around ten bucks.A great investment.
yeah, emerald green is a dark green and it does not glow under a blacklight. blacklights are cheap and definetly worth every penny if you collect glass!
I love these, they sure would look good on my table......lol....they are just so neat...
I just posted a new one ...catch of day...Cadum go and check out
thank you wingletts! your so sweet! i have more of these then what is shown in the pic.
