Fenton Art Glass - Hobnail Milk Glass Pattern - Sugar Bowl & Lid - 5.5" Tall

In 1939, Fenton started selling the Hobnail Pattern in milk glass. This pattern would become their top-selling line. Those of us "oldies" probably remember that "white bumpy glass" on the family table. Well, that "white bumpy glass", turns out to be the highly collectible Hobnail milk glass pattern. You may be wondering what is hobnail? In days past people would pound round headed nails into the soles of their boots to give them traction on sloppy ground, giving their boots a bottom with rounded studs. This gave Fenton the idea to call their bumpy pattern Hobnail.

This sugar bowl is a larger version of our 4.5" sugar bowl. It is 5.5 inches tall and is made from the same milky white Hobnail pattern but holds a larger amount of sugar. It stands on a scalloped, footed base that starts out at approx. 3.38 inches and extends upward to approx. 3.75 inches. Its matching lid fits easily into the crimped rim of the body and has a sturdy milk white handle to open the bowl. This replacement piece would look great on your country kitchen table next to it matching Creamer and a vase full of flowers!
