Fenton Hobnail Cranberry Opalescent Handled Candleholder Chamberstick 3"

Description

View Fenton Hobnail Cranberry Opalescent Handled Candleholder Chamberstick 3" with current marketplace pricing, condition, product images and item details. A graceful, clear glass loop handle is applied to one side, hand-shaped while hot, allowing the candleholder to be carried easily from room to room, just as chamberstick candle holders were traditionally used. This is a genuine vintage Fenton Handled Candleholder in the beloved Hobnail Cranberry (Opalescent) pattern, a classic chamberstick-style candle holder measuring 3 inches tall and approximately 4-5 inches wide across the applied handle. This exact piece is a documented pattern in Fenton's Hobnail Cranberry Opalescent collection, confirming both the maker and the pattern name. The glass is cased opalescent art glass, made by a technique where a layer of ruby-red gold glass is cased over an opalescent white glass base, then reheated at specific points during the hobnail-molding process so the raised bumps ("hobnails") glow with a soft, milky white opalescence against the deep cranberry-pink ground, a signature Fenton effect that is prized by collectors and cannot be easily reproduced by other makers. The entire surface is covered in Fenton's iconic raised hobnail bumps, with the color deepening to a rich cranberry-red at the base and edges and lightening to a soft pink-white glow at the opalescent tips and rim. A graceful, clear glass loop handle is applied to one side, hand-shaped while hot, allowing the candleholder to be carried easily from room to room, just as chamberstick candle holders were traditionally used. Fenton Art Glass Company, founded in 1905 in Williamstown, West Virginia, is one of the most celebrated names in American art glass, and their Hobnail line, first introduced in the 1930s and produced for decades afterward, remains one of the most widely collected patterns in American glass history. Cranberry Opalescent is one of Fenton's most sought-after colorways, prized for its rich pink-red tone and the glowing white highlights on each hobnail. Condition: The piece presents in lovely condition with vibrant color and intact hobnail detail throughout. A wonderful addition to any collection of Fenton glass, hobnail pattern glass, or cranberry/pink art glass, and equally charming as a functional taper candle holder or simply displayed for its color and shape.
