Fenton's "Strawberry" Candy Box #9088 MI

Collectibles : -- Sherer Heaven To Betsy Bargains -- : Fenton Milk Glass

 

This beautifully detailed candy box is by Fenton Art Glass Company,c. 1969. It is their #9088 MI candy box in the Strawberry pattern and can be found in their 1969 advertisement on page 131 of "Fenton Glass, The Third Twenty-Five Years" by William Heacock.

The lovely design is of strawberries and leaves encased in a cameo-type design with the strawberries and leaves continuing onto the base and lid.

This piece measures 8 1/2" tall with the lid in place or 6 1/2" without x 6" wide. It is in wonderful condition with only one tiny air bubble on the inside rim of the box, itself. Of course, this doesn't show when the lid is in place and, although it happened during the manufacturing process, I did want to mention it for accuracy.

NOTE: It was announced this week (08-09-07) that Fenton Glass Company will be closing its doors after being in business for over 100 years. A very tragic bit of news to hear and I'm sad for the family, employees and all of those who love and have collected Fenton glassware over the years...me, included.
