Short, bulbous pink glass bud vase featuring a classic hobnail pattern across the exterior. Features a flared rim and a squat, rounded body. Approximately 3-4 inches tall. Ideal for cottagecore, shabby chic, or MCM decor styles.
Key Features
Trend-relevant pink color; popular 'Hobnail' texture; small size makes it an easy 'add-on' item for collectors.
Authenticity Indicators
Confidence: Medium. Lacks a Fenton logo (which suggests it is either pre-1970s or a different maker like LG Wright or Kanawha). Check the bottom for a pontil mark or molded ring.
Flaws to Note
Potential for small 'flea bites' on the hobnails or rim; cloudiness inside if used with hard water. Ensure there are no sharp edges on the studs.
