1970 Fenton Glass Christmas Plate. Measures 8". The Little Brown Chirch in the Vale. Excellent condition.
This 1970 Fenton glass Christmas plate is a stunning example of late Mid-Century iridescent artistry. This specific piece commemorates "The Little Brown Church in the Vale," rendered in deep amethyst carnival glass that shimmers with a spectrum of oil-slick colors when it catches the light. The embossed architectural details of the church and the delicate texture of the surrounding winter landscape showcase the high-quality mold work Fenton was known for during this era.
As the first in a series of annual Christmas plates produced by Fenton, this item holds significant appeal for collectors of traditional holiday decor and American art glass. The deep, moody tones of the glass allow it to bridge the gap between classic festive styling and a more sophisticated, moody aesthetic. It would serve as a beautiful focal point on a mantle or within a curated cabinet display, especially when paired with other metallic or glass textures. Its excellent condition ensures that the intricate holly leaf border and the crisp lettering remain a clear tribute to this iconic Iowa landmark.
This item is vintage, over 55 years old.
