Here, we offer a vintage, 1932, Fenton Bon bon dish frome their Sheffield line. A rich Ruby Red, highlighted with that amberina center. A rather scarce, stunningly beautiful piece of Sheffield ribbed glass. Amazingly scalloped into the shape of a flower. A must have for Fenton or Sheffield collectors. It measures 8-1/2" point to point, and sits at 1-3/4" in height. Flawless condition!!! Fenton Art Glass Company was founded in 1905 by brothers Frank L. and John W. Fenton. The original factory was in an old glass factory in Martins Ferry, Ohio in 1905. At first they painted glass blanks from other glass makers, but started making their own glass when they became unable to buy the materials they needed. In 1906 they built a factory across the Ohio River to Williamstown, West Virginia and started producing in 1907. In 1908 John Fenton left the company and founded the Millersburg glass company in Millersburg, OH. The company ceased traditional glassmaking in 2011. Glass is still being made, using the Fenton buying Art Glass molds (with Fenton logo), at another glass factory located in Ohio. The Fenton Gift Shop is still open in Williamstown, WV.
