This is a vintage Fenton pink iridescent melon glass vase featuring a ruffled rim and a delicate hand-painted butterfly and floral design.
The close-up images of the art showcase the intricate details of the hand-painted "Whispering Wings" pattern, which was a limited edition theme released by the Fenton Art Glass Company.
Here are a few specialized details regarding this piece:
The Material & Finish: The glass itself is an iridized pink cased glass (often resembling their Rosalene or Dusty Rose colors), which gives it that pearlescent, metallic rainbow sheen under light.
The Shape: This specific ribbed structure is a signature Fenton mold known as a Melon Vase. The heavily fluted or crimped top is known as a ruffled rim.
Hand-Painted Artistry: Every painted piece was individually decorated by a skilled factory artist. If you turn the vase over, you should find the artist's handwritten signature or initials on the bottom base.
The Sticker: The oval silver and blue sticker on the front identifies it as an authentic Fenton Handpainted in USA piece. These stickers are highly collectible when left intact, as they verify the factory origin.
