Make a commanding, vibrant statement in your art glass collection with this magnificent vintage Fenton 9 Finger Marigold Swung Tree Bark Vase. Expertly hand-crafted by the historic Fenton Art Glass Company during the golden era of American carnival glass, this striking funeral-height statement piece showcases an incredible marigold iridescence that flashes brilliant fiery orange and warm golden tones under ambient light.
The body is deeply molded with Fenton's realistic, highly tactile "Tree Bark" pattern, giving the exterior an organic, rustic texture. While still hot from the mold, the artisan masterfully drew and stretched the glass upwards, forming its dramatic, towering silhouette topped by a highly distinct 9-finger fluted rim. Standing at an impressive display height of approximately 16 inches, this substantial, floor-or-table-ready vase acts as a spectacular focal centerpiece on a sunlit entryway credenza, a fireplace hearth, or a premier anchor position in an antique showroom gallery.
Condition: No chips, cracks, or repairs. The highly vertical swung glass column is structurally flawless, the base foot is substantial and sturdy, and the tips of the 9-finger fluted rim are completely smooth to the touch with zero roughness. Normal manufacturing variations inherent to vintage handmade swung glass, such as slight structural asymmetry, faint stretch waves, or microscopic enclosed air bubbles, are present and typical of this production technique.
