Fenton Milk Glass Hobnail Low Banana Bowl #3720MI

Collectibles : Glass, Crystal : Fenton Milk Glass Hobnail

 

I have one of these banana bowls in my kitchen bay window and change it with the season. It may hold anything from fruit (especially grapes) to pine, holly and glass beads for the holidays. These bowls are so much fun to work with and become a focal point of your table, counter, bookcase, hutch or even a bay window.

This is Fenton's milk glass hobnail low banana bowl or boat. It is their #3720MI and was made from 1959-80. It stands on a ribbed stem/pedestal and has 11 rows of hobs, topped off with a crimped edge. It measures12 1/2" long x 6 1/2" tall and is in wonderful condition. (Since these boats are hand-formed, the measurements may vary from the stated dimensions.) It was formerly owned by a Fenton hobnail collector (you know how those collectors can be), and it has received excellent care.

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.
