Fenton Amber Glass Figural Set (Diamond Lace Bell, Daisy & Button Boot, and Slipper)

Story

During the mid-20th century, American glassmakers looked to the Victorian era for inspiration, reviving whimsical shapes like miniature shoes and decorative bells. These amber glass novelties brought warmth and a touch of historical romance into post-war American homes.

Maker / Origin

Founded in 1905 by Frank L. Fenton, the Fenton Art Glass Company became world-renowned for its innovative colors and hand-pressed decorative glass. Operating out of West Virginia, they were pioneers in carnival glass and remained a beloved family-run business for over a century, closing their traditional glassmaking operations in 2011.

Condition & Value

The glass pieces appear to be in excellent vintage condition with no visible chips, cracks, or flea bites along the delicate pressed edges. The bell retains its original clapper. Excellent condition is vital for pressed glass, as chips to the pattern points significantly reduce collector value.
