Additional Information:
This rare piece of Topaz (also known as Vaseline) glass is fast
becoming the number one collectible color in the Fenton Hobnail
Opalescent line.
The Top Hat has been a popular fixture in many colors but the miniature
top hat also known as a tooth pick holder has become a cross
collectible for both Fenton and Toothpick collectors.
Vaseline Glass also known as Uranium glass fluoresces a bright green
under ultraviolet light ( blacklight ). Our last picture shows the
piece under a black light.
Fenton Art Glass is very collectible and the fact that this piece, in
this particular color, was only made in what amounts to a six year
period makes it a highly desirable item.
