Description

This dreamy pedestal compote is a textbook example of Fenton Art Glass at its most irresistible, dressed in that signature blue opalescent finish that fades from rich sky blue at the ruffled rim and base into a creamy milky white across the hobnail body. The double-crimped ruffle edge is bold and theatrical, flaring wide like a Victorian ball gown, while the hobnail pattern across the bowl gives every inch of this piece a satisfying tactile rhythm. Standing approximately 6 inches tall and stretching roughly 8 to 9 inches across the ruffled mouth, the pedestal base features elegant ribbing that echoes the drama of the top. The unembossed pontil bottom is clean and unmarked, consistent with many mid-century Fenton pieces, and the glass shows no chips, cracks, or repairs making this a display-ready stunner for any serious hobnail collector.
