Rare Vintage Fenton UV Reactive White Milk Glass Hobnail Cruet & Perfume Set with Tray – 3 Pieces
A rare, highly sought-after crossover collectible bridging American art glass and luminescent UV oddities! While standard vintage white milk glass remains inert under ultraviolet light, select early Fenton batches incorporated uranium oxide or reactive mineral batches into their opaque opaline glass matrix. By day, this vanity service displays a crisp, snow-white finish; under a UV blacklight (395nm/365nm), it illuminates with a ghostly, neon fluorescent green glow.
This complete 3-piece service features two bulbous bottles: one designed with an applied arching loop handle as a tabletop cruet, and a companion vanity perfume bottle, both accompanied by their original pointed hobnail glass stoppers. Both vessels feature allover raised hobnails and cinched necks that flare into delicate double-crimped ruffled collars. They sit nestled together in an elongated matching display tray edged with an intricate pierced open-lace rim.
Set Includes
1 Fenton Milk Glass Handled Cruet Bottle with Hobnail Stopper (UV Reactive)
