History
This bon bon dish was produced by the Fenton Art Glass Company, likely between the 1950s and 1970s, during the peak of their milk glass production. The piece features their distinctive 'Silver Crest' line, characterized by a white milk glass body with a clear crystal edge, and hand-painted floral decoration, specifically violets and pansies. Fenton's hand-painted glassware became highly sought after for its craftsmanship and decorative appeal. Collectors of mid-century American art glass particularly value these pieces for their distinctive ruffled edges and delicate hand-painted floral motifs. The 'Violets in the Snow' pattern seen here is especially popular among Fenton collectors for its charming representation of spring flowers against the pristine white background.
