The History of the
Fenton Art Glass Company (Cont.) |

They began making milk glass (white glass
that looks like porcelain) especially hobnail milk glass. Milk glass
became Fenton's top-selling line, resulting
in the company's expansion. |
| In 1968 Rose Presznick asked
Fenton's to reproduce some carnival glass for her to sell at her Carnival
Glass Museum in Lodi, Ohio, which they did. From this idea the
first Fenton collector series in carnival glass was born. |
| Carnival glass also entered a new phase of
popularity in the 1970's, mostly with collectors. |
| Another successful Fenton product
was Burmese glass (1970) The glass is opaque, matt, cream shading to light
pink at the top. |
| Fenton produces sufficient variety every
year to keep all their supporters happy. |
| The company has been owned and
operated by Fenton's since its founding in 1905. |
