Founded in 1905 in West Virginia, Fenton Art Glass became one of America's most celebrated producers of handmade decorative glass. Renowned for its vibrant colours and innovative techniques, Fenton introduced iconic finishes such as iridescent carnival glass, alongside hobnail, opalescent and hand-painted designs.
Skilled artisans used traditional glassmaking methods, ensuring each piece possessed its own unique character. Over the decades, the company created everything from elegant vases and bowls to whimsical figurines and limited-edition collectibles.
Although regular glass production ended in 2011, Fenton pieces remain highly sought after, admired for their exceptional craftsmanship, rich history and enduring artistic appeal.
