Blue beautiful glass..my absolute favorite. This little jewel was a flea market discovery. It was labeled as Fenton, I have no clue..
It's feet are a milky whitish -blue that lead the curve of the dish into a clear cut blue. There are beautiful stars carved along the bottom.
Lovely blue color & pattern
BEAUTIFUL!! I love the color.
"Fenton Glass Company started in 1905, when brothers Frank and John Fenton set up shop in an old glass factory in Martins Ferry, Ohio. Their initial business model was to paint glass blanks supplied by other manufacturers, but when the brothers ran into supply snags, they decided to make their own, setting up a glassblowing facility in Williamstown, West Virginia.
Of the myriad manufacturers of carnival glass, a type of colorful molded glassware that was popular in the first half of the 20th century, Fenton Glass Company is arguably the most influential and important. Fenton basically introduced the category in 1907, when company co-founder Frank Fenton and factory manager Jacob Rosenthal created an iridescent, "poor-man’s Tiffany" called Iridill."

missing the lid. I think Fenton made these c1950-60; the white/milky effect is call opalescence. so if the glass is blue it would be blue opalescent....
here's an old eBay listing:
