Exquisite Fenton Jack-in-the-Pulpit vase featuring the classic Rosaline Burmese matte finish. The piece transitions from a soft mint green at the base to a delicate rose pink ruffled rim. The body is decorated with a detailed, artist-signed hand-painted floral motif. This iconic silhouette is highly sought after by glass collectors.
Key Features
Burmese glass composition is highly collectible; Jack-in-the-Pulpit shape is a classic Victorian revival style; Hand-painted and likely signed by the artist on the side or bottom; Ruffled 'crimped' edge is in perfect condition.
Authenticity Indicators
Confidence level: High. Look for the embossed Fenton logo (an F in an oval) and the individual artist signature integrated into the floral design. Genuine Burmese glass will glow under a UV/Blacklight due to uranium content.
Flaws to Note
None visible. Always check the very bottom of the pedestal for tiny chips and ensure the ruffled edges are smooth to the touch. Check for the Fenton 'F' in an oval logo.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (broadest collector audience), Etsy (for vintage decor appeal), or a high-end Antique Mall. Live auctions on platforms like Whatnot also have high demand for Fenton pieces.
Selling Tips
Use the word 'Burmese' and 'Jack in the Pulpit' in the title. Include a photo of the piece under a blacklight to prove the uranium content. Double-box for shipping to ensure the delicate ruffles do not break during transit.
