Vintage Fenton Blue Opalescent Hobnail Ruffled Candy Dish Pedestal Bowl MCM 6"
This vintage Fenton blue opalescent hobnail ruffled candy dish features a soft translucent aqua-blue body with milky opalescent highlights that fade toward the crimped ruffled rim. The classic hobnail pattern adds rich texture and catches the light beautifully, while the sculptural ruffled edge creates an elegant decorative silhouette typical of Mid-Century glass design.
Produced by the Fenton Art Glass Company, one of America’s most respected art glass makers, pieces like this were especially popular during the Mid-Century period for their decorative versatility and craftsmanship. The small pedestal base makes it perfect as a candy dish, nut bowl, trinket holder, or display accent, and its luminous opalescent color and iconic hobnail texture make it a charming addition to any Mid-Century glass or Fenton collection.
