Vintage Fenton Red Carnival Glass 85th Birthday Plate. Measures 10". Excellent condition.
Celebrate the legacy of American art glass with this authentic vintage Fenton 85th Anniversary commemorative plate. Measuring 10 inches in diameter, this stunning piece is crafted in Fenton’s signature red carnival glass, known for its deep ruby base and vibrant, oil-slick iridescence that shifts beautifully in the light. The plate features a highly detailed embossed holly and berry motif that radiates from the center, finished with a classic scalloped "sawtooth" edge that adds texture and elegance.
This specific design was released in 1990 to celebrate 85 years of Fenton excellence and is officially marked on the back to authenticate its commemorative status. It is an exceptional choice for carnival glass collectors, as a vibrant centerpiece for a holiday table, or as a sophisticated gift for a glass enthusiast. The rich red hue makes it particularly striking for Christmas decor or Valentine’s Day displays, while its historical significance ensures it remains a storied conversation piece year-round. It stands as a durable and luminous example of the traditional pressing techniques used at the Fenton factory in Williamstown, West Virginia.
This item is vintage, over 30 years old. While it appears to be in excellent condition, there is the possibility I may have missed a minor detail. In the unlikely event I missed a major flaw I would reach out prior to sending it.
