Vintage 6" 1950s Fenton Jadeite Hobnail Scalloped Candle Holder

This piece is a Fenton Art Glass hobnail pattern candle holder made of vaseline glass (also called uranium glass), likely produced between the 1950s and 1970s. The distinctive hobnail pattern featuring raised bumps was one of Fenton's signature designs, while the vibrant yellow-green color comes from uranium oxide added to the glass formula. Vaseline glass is highly collectible for its distinctive glow under ultraviolet light, a property that makes it especially appealing to glass collectors. Fenton Art Glass Company, founded in 1905 in Williamstown, West Virginia, was one of America's premier glass manufacturers until its closure in 2011, making their vintage pieces increasingly valuable to collectors of American art glass and mid-century decorative arts.
