Description
Exquisite Fenton Art Glass basket in the classic 'Daisy and Button' pattern. This piece features a striking Rosaline Pink slag glass finish, characterized by its opaque, marbled saturation. It includes a hand-applied twisted rope handle and a finely crimped/ruffled crest. Standing approximately 6-8 inches tall, this iconic piece of American art glass reflects the high-quality craftsmanship of Fenton's mid-century production.
Key Features
Highly collectible 'Rosaline' colorway; Hand-applied handle; Iconic Daisy and Button embossed pattern; Ruffled edge in perfect condition; Fenton branding is highly recognized in the vintage market.
Authenticity Indicators
Fenton Art Glass. During the 1970s, Fenton began using an oval 'Fenton' logo embossed in the glass; check the bottom for a faint oval mark. The style of the handle attachment (the way the glass is folded over the rim) is a signature of Fenton's master handlers. Confidence: High.
Flaws to Note
None visible. Always check for 'heat checks' (internal stress fractures) where the handle meets the body. Inspect the tips of the ruffles for tiny chips (roughness).
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (broadest collector audience), Etsy (best for vintage decor), and Facebook Marketplace (if avoiding shipping risks).
Selling Tips
Use keywords like 'Vintage Fenton,' 'Rosaline Slag Glass,' and 'Daisy and Button.' Highlight 'No chips or cracks.' Ship with extreme care—double boxing is recommended for glass baskets with handles. Photograph against a neutral, dark background to make the pink color pop.
