Antique Fenton Marigold Carnival Glass Fine Rib 9" Swung Vase

This antique Fenton "Fine Rib" marigold carnival glass swung vase measures approximately 9 inches tall with a 2.5-inch base width and an estimated top rim diameter of 3.5 to 4 inches. This striking piece showcases all the definitive hallmarks of an authentic early 20th-century Fenton creation, dating roughly between 1910 and the 1930s. The vase features a classic six-point ruffled rim that flares out elegantly from the fine vertical ribs, finished with a highly vibrant, metallic iridescent marigold sheen that reveals gorgeous rainbow highlights under the light. Key indicators of its genuine antique pedigree include the sharply pressed multi-pointed starburst pattern on the bottom and the distinctive, thick "Marie" foot ring. Crucially, the base is completely unmarked; because Fenton only utilized temporary paper labels during this early era rather than a stamped glass logo, this lack of an embedded mark perfectly aligns with a true pre-war production piece. Please note that this piece has a notable internal bruise or chip within the glass near the bottom outer foot ring as shown in the close-up photos; it does not present as a surface flake, remains completely structurally sound, holds its dramatic vintage aesthetic beautifully when displayed upright, and exhibits honest shelf wear consistent with its historic age.
