1500-vintage Fenton uranium custard satin glass basket

Description

vintage Fenton custard satin glass basket featuring a hand-painted floral design. These pieces are popular among collectors, partly because the custard glass, which contains uranium as a colorant, glows brightly under a black light. Maker: Fenton Art Glass Company Material: Custard glass with a satin (frosted) finish. This glass is known to be UV reactive/uranium glass. Design: The basket has a ruffled or crimped edge, an applied handle, and a hand-painted floral pattern, likely daisies or similar small flowers, in yellowish-brown and white enamels. Artist Signature: Many Fenton baskets, including this style, are signed by the individual artist who applied the hand-painted decoration, which can add to their value.
