This is a blue and white opalescent, hobnail Vase with a smooth bottom. It is a ruffled Fenton and it measures 5" x 5.75". I love this vase because I don't often come across blue and white hobnail in Fenton. Looking for dates for most of my items. Thank you in advance for any help given.
looks to be blue opalescent and is in Fenton's 1950 catalog as #389 Vase. Fenton made these for many years in various colors; without a maker's mark it is possibly an early piece. FYI Fenton pieces do not have pontil marks; so the bottom is smooth because it's mold blown. Fenton used a marie/base ring to clamp the glass for hand tooling.
Thank you TallCakes. I couldn't recall the word Opalescent for some reason. I have many opalescent pieces.
