Fenton Pink Opalescent Bowl Set

Fenton Bowl Set — a coordinated display of mid-century elegance in pink opalescent glass. This set includes two scalloped edge bowls, one smaller and designed to nest within the other. The soft pink-to-white gradation is achieved using a bone ash–enhanced formula that gives Fenton’s glass its dreamy translucence.

This luminous pair showcases Fenton’s mastery of color and form. Produced during the mid-20th century, they feature the soft pink hue and milky white edge characteristic of Fenton’s signature opalescent technique. The flared, rippled shape is typical of Fenton’s decorative console bowls, designed to reflect light and add elegance to sideboards and tables. The layered form of this nested set adds to their collectible charm and versatility — ideal for decorative or serving use.

Founded in 1905, Fenton became one of the most iconic American art glass makers, blending color chemistry with practical beauty. This style remains a favorite among collectors for its sculptural quality and historic appeal. Frank L. Fenton’s love of color and his admiration for glass artisans like those at Tiffany and Steuben helped keep Fenton Art Glass in the forefront of the handmade art glass industry for decades. The Fenton Art Glass Company were the originators of both Hobnail and Carnival glass styles.
