From a Levay brochure:
”A Limited Offering for the Antique Trade
The spellbinding beauty of Fenton's timeless "Ruby Marble" collection is sure to please all collectors of fine American made glassware. Through the years, beginning with the first production of variegated colored glass around 1850 "Marble Glass" has had, and will always have, a magical appeal. The luscious shading and inter mixing of vibrant colors has had several names over the years, including Slag Glass and End of Day Glass, depending on the manufacturer. No two pieces of Marble Glass are alike, each reflecting the individuality of the glass craftsman and the inherent individuality of the glass itself. From the hen on a nest to the grape and cable tobacco jar the ageless artistry is recreated for the collectors of generations to come.”
Measures approximately 7 inches tall.
