vintage Fenton Colonial Blue Thumbprint Compote.

Fenton Art Glass Company, founded in 1905 by brothers Frank and John Fenton in Williamstown, West Virginia, quickly became renowned for its innovative glassmaking techniques and vibrant colors. Fenton is particularly celebrated for its iridescent glass, known as 'Carnival Glass,' and its wide array of decorative and functional glassware. The company's pieces are highly collectible, reflecting various styles and patterns popular throughout the 20th century. This Colonial Blue Thumbprint pattern, with its distinctive raised dots and ruffled edge, exemplifies Fenton's craftsmanship. The compote form, a stemmed dish used for serving fruit or desserts, was a common item in early 20th-century households, making this piece both beautiful and functional. Fenton ceased traditional glass production in 2011, adding to the desirability of their vintage pieces.
