Perfect for collectors and enthusiasts alike, this glass slipper embodies the timeless elegance and meticulous craftsmanship for which Fenton is renowned.

Daisy and Button Glassware

The Fenton Art Glass Company, founded in 1905 by brothers Frank L. Fenton and John W. Fenton in Martins Ferry, Ohio, quickly became a symbol of quality and innovation in American glassmaking. Fenton's journey began with the creation of hand-painted glassware, which soon evolved into the production of distinctive and highly sought-after glass patterns.

One of the most iconic designs produced by Fenton is the Daisy and Button. Introduced in the late 1930s, Hobnail glassware features a distinctive texture of raised bumps that resemble the head of a nail. This pattern was particularly popular in milk glass but gained significant attention when produced in glass.

Aesthetic Appeal

The Fenton Blue Daisy and Button Cat Glass Slipper is a testament to the allure and beauty of decorative glass. The delicate blue color, combined with the glossy finish, creates a captivating play of light and shadow that changes with the angle of viewing and the lighting conditions. The daisy and button texture adds a tactile dimension to the slipper, making it a delight to hold and admire.

This glass slipper is not only a decorative piece but also a conversation starter. Its timeless design fits seamlessly into various interior styles, from vintage and shabby chic to modern and minimalist. Place it on a mantel, a bookshelf, or a glass cabinet, and watch it transform the space with its subtle elegance and charm.

Collectability and Value

Fenton glassware, particularly pieces featuring the Hobnail pattern, is highly collectible. The Blue Daisy and Button Glass Slipper is no exception. Its unique combination of color, texture, and craftsmanship makes it a prized addition to any collection. Collectors value these pieces not only for their beauty but also for their historical significance and the skill required to produce them.

Fenton ceased traditional glassmaking in 2011, making their existing pieces even more valuable. The Blue Daisy and Button Glass Slipper, with its impeccable quality and design, is a tangible piece of American glassmaking history and a valuable investment for collectors.
