Fenton Art Glass - Hobnail Milk Glass Pattern - Scalloped Sugar With Lid

In 1939, Fenton started selling the Hobnail Pattern in milk glass. This pattern would become their top-selling line. Those of us "oldies" probably remember that "white bumpy glass" on the family table. Well, that "white bumpy glass", turns out to be the highly collectible Hobnail milk glass pattern. You may be wondering what is hobnail? In days past people would pound round headed nails into the soles of their boots to give them traction on sloppy ground, giving their boots a bottom with rounded studs. This gave Fenton the idea to call their bumpy pattern Hobnail.

This Hobnail Sugar bowl is 4.7 inches tall and 4 inches round. It is made in the Hobnail pattern standing on a scalloped footed base. Its matching lid fits easily into the bowls crimped top edge, and has a beautiful sturdy handle to lift it open. Add this piece to your Hobnail creamer and you'll have the perfect Cream and Sugar set for your own Tea Party!
