Description
The Fenton Art Glass Company, located in Williamstown, WV, created this vaseline(reacts under UV light) stretch vase pattern #574 in the 1920s. The form is pressed into a mold and then hand finished, or tooled, to create the flared and crimped rim. Nice six sided foot.This piece is 5-1/4" HOA, 6-5/8" diam. at its widest point. There is no damage and only minor wear to the bottom of the foot.
As with almost all items made of glass in the 19th and early 20th century: tiny bubbles, annealing lines, straw marks, mold roughness, slight lean, etc., is common and not considered damage to the piece.
Most Early American Pattern Glass was made by hand in the United States starting in the 19th century and ending in the first quarter of the 20th century. I feel that this is part of our heritage when we as a country produced much of our glassware. Now most of it is made overseas and we seem to have left this craft behind.
