A beautiful vintage Fenton Art Glass vase in rich, translucent cranberry pink glass, featuring a gracefully rounded melon-form body, elongated neck, and an exceptionally dramatic hand-formed ruffled rim.
The vase displays a lovely combination of traditional American glassmaking techniques and sculptural artistry. Its generously rounded lower body features softly defined vertical optic detailing, creating gentle undulations throughout the glass that beautifully capture and refract light.
The rich cranberry coloration shifts between deep ruby, raspberry, and luminous pink depending on the lighting. The thinner sections of the glass, particularly along the elaborate ruffled opening, reveal delicate transparency that contrasts beautifully with the deeper saturation of the rounded body.
Rising from the bulbous lower section is an elegant, narrowing neck that opens into a magnificent deeply crimped rim. The dramatic folds form raised, fan-shaped sections around the opening, creating an almost floral silhouette.
The underside bears the molded Fenton oval trademark, identifying the piece as an authentic creation of the Fenton Art Glass Company.
This vintage American art glass vase is attributed to the late 20th century. Its exact production year and catalog number have not been established.
A wonderful addition to a collection of Fenton Art Glass, cranberry glass, or decorative American art glass, this vase offers beautiful color, an elegant silhouette, and an especially striking sculptural opening.
