Fenton 1934 Mandarin Red 9" Crimped Fruit Bowl - #846

Glass : Fenton : Mandarin Red

 

This Fenton treasure is the 9" crimped fruit bowl (ware #846) in mandarin red, a piece and opaque color combination that was produced only in 1934, long before Fenton began marking its glassware. According to Whitmyer's "Fenton Art Glass 1907-1939," mandarin red had a short production run, from 1933 through 1935, with these marbled pieces causing the "greatest excitement" among collectors.

This fabulous flared rim, crimped bowl stands 3-1/2" high and measures 9" in diameter, at the widest point. A gorgeous piece in excellent condition, with a straw mark on the inside surface, along the marbling line, but no nicks, chips, or cracks.
