Fenton Art Glass Company was the largest manufacturer of handmade colored glass in the United States and among the foremost glass manufacturers in the world. Known for its beautiful colors and patterns, Fenton Art Glass continues an American tradition with its skilled glassworkers and talented decorators. Fenton Art Glass was founded in 1905 by brothers Frank L. and John W. Fenton. They began their business In Martins Ferry, Ohio, by painting decorations on glassware made by nearby manufacturers. Prompted in part by the desire to work with a broader range of colors, the brothers soon decided to produce their own glass, and opened the Fenton Art Glass factory in Williamstown, West Virginia in 1907. In fact, Fenton introduced "iridescent ware" later that same year. Now known as "Carnival" glass, it's a popular collectible item today. This unbelievably Gorgeous and highly collectible Fenton compote was created with a ruffled edge and embossed roses on the bowl and stem. The color is an unbelievably pretty shade of blue with swirls of darker and lighter colors mixed in, as is the case when creating slag glass. Just an overall lovely and unique piece.

Excellent, like new.
