Greetings from the PurplePatty.com Community! In 1905 a decorator and designer by the name of Frank L. Fenton started the Fenton Art Glass Company that offered decorating services to other manufacturers. It was in 1907 when the company moved to Williamstown, West Virginia and started manufacturing its own glass products.
Fenton produced several lines of glass including, carnival, chocolate, custard, and opalescent. It wasn't until the 1920s when Fenton introduced art glass and stretch glass. The 1930s saw the appearance of slag glass.
Because Fenton used a variety of paper labels to mark their products, it is by design that we recognize a Fenton piece manufactured prior to 1970. In 1970 the company started applying a raised trademark with Fenton in an oval circle. By 2000 a date code had been added to the trademark.
Here's to a day full of Shopping and Smiles!
From your Super Shopper,
