"Vintage Antique Fenton's French Opalescent Cologne Perfume Bottle was made in the 1930s/1940s.<br />  <br />  This is an unusual design with a triple ring neck and bulbous body and is missing its glass stopper. <br />  <br />  Very good condition with some external cracks at the neck.  Measures 4\" tall and 4 1/8\" wide.  This offer is for the bottle and the berries are not included and are for display purposes only.<br />  <br />  A great addition to any Dresser Vanity Tray or Fenton Art Glass Collection and as seen in the pictures, can also make a wonderful small vase. <br />  <br />  Although Fenton's first piece of hobnail was a Ruby Overlay lamp font made in 1935 for Lightolier, it was several years later that the company was asked to manufacture hobnail glass in larger quantities. In 1936, L.G. Wright Glass Company approached Fenton with some old hobnail molds. Heacock states in his book, Fenton Glass / The Second Twenty-Five Years, (page 44, item #246), that this Wright hobnail mold found in Indiana, PA was probably made around 1900 by The Northwood Glass Company from an old Hobbs, Brockunier & Company mold. Frank L. Fenton just happened to have a sample of this Wright bottle on his desk when Fenton's Chicago representative, Martin Simpson, stopped by Frank's office. Martin asked Frank if he could take the bottle with him and he returned with it to Chicago. It was sitting on his desk when a buyer from the Wrisley Perfume Company spied it. Apparently they were looking for new marketing tools to increase sales of their perfume. It seems that often the perfume bottle sold the perfume. <br />  Fenton began producing this perfume bottle for the Wrisley Company in early spring of 1938. The hobnail design (known as #289 when produced for Wrisley, for all other production including Fenton's own line it was called #389) was a huge success for Wrisley and was one of two accounts that literally saved the Fenton factory from bankruptcy.<br /> <br /> This would make a unique vintage gift for entertaining guests or the collector.   <br />                                <br /> There are several vintage and antique beauty and home decor items that can be found in the Bath and Beauty and China, Glass, Home, Decor Studio Categories.<br />                                                                                               There are also other antique and vintage costume and plastic jewelry (bakelite, lucite, celluloid, and figurals), collectibles, books, art, glass, china, kitchen, home decor, and retro pieces in the store.<br />                                                                                               So, please do take a look and simply click on the For Sale Tab (top left) or any section in the store (top right) to browse.<br />                                                                                               Simply click on the For Sale Tab (top left) or any studio category in the store (top right) to browse.
