This is the large ice cream bowl but it could be used as a fruit bowl too.This large bowl measures 9 7/8†across the center and it’s 2 1/4†high.
This is an elegant piece of crystal – an excellent and rare example of early American pattern glass. The pattern is very deeply cut or impressed. Wouldn't it look lovely on your table or in the safety of your china closet?
Please keep in mind that I can only insure this piece for the selling price.
Millersburg was founded in 1908 by John W. Fenton and started glass production in mid-May 1909 in Millersburg, Ohio.John was Frank Fenton’s brother and part owner of Fenton Art Glass Company; so the quality of glass, much like Fenton Glass, was top notch. The factory was custom-built and supposedly state of the art; but the company ceased operations in June of 1911 after declaring bankruptcy. The plant closed in 1912.Initially, they produced only crystal glass and then began adding frosted and iridized or radium glass pieces.
Many of the pieces produced, particularly bowls, are the most sought after by the present day collector.Frosted and carnival versions are also more sought after than are clear glass versions. The Hobstar & Feather pattern is one of the most popular with collectors and I understand a large carnival glass bowl in this pattern sold for $24,000 a few years ago!
Unless otherwise stated above, there are no chips, cracks or other damage noted. We try our best to provide detailed descriptions and are always happy to provide additional pictures when requested.
