I just started collecting, these had no markings, so would love some help!
I got these at a thrift shop yesterday, and fell in love with the pretty scalloped edges.
any idea of its maker or date? thanks!
found it online....
Although a few items were made in milk glass in the 1940s, the Fenton Hobnail line didn't truly take hold until January of 1950 when they introduced several new pieces. Milk glass Hobnail was one of their most successful lines with every imaginable item produced. Although there are other milk glass hobnail (Fenton wannabes) out there, Fenton's pieces can be identified from across the room.
This creamer and sugar set was produced from 1961-1980. It is Fenton's #3606-MI and the creamer has the pointed handle, which is a little easier for men to pick up and pour. I particularly love the tiny beading on the knob to the sugar bowl and on the handle to the creamer. They look like little pearls.
The pieces measure 4 1/4" x 4 2/4" (creamer) and 5 5/8" x 3 3/4" (sugar bowl w/lid). Both pieces are free of damage.
