Story
In 1909, John Fenton broke away from his famous family business to prove he could create the most beautiful glass in the world, settling in the small town of Millersburg, Ohio.
Maker / Origin
John Fenton was a visionary who prioritized artistry over profit, a trait that made him a legend among collectors but a poor businessman.
Condition & Value
The iridescence appears exceptionally well-preserved with strong blue and pink highlights over the base marigold. Millersburg pieces command a premium over other makers like Fenton or Northwood due to their rarity and the superior 'Radium' finish.
