Vintage Fenton Ebony Black Glass Vase

Vintage Fenton Ebony Glass Vase. Measures about 10.5" in height with a 3.5" opening. Stamped Fenton on the bottom. Good condition. Has some chipping around the rim, seen in photo.

This striking Fenton Ebony vase is a masterclass in Mid-Century simplicity and bold, sculptural form. Crafted from heavy, opaque black glass, it features a sophisticated silhouette with a wide, rounded shoulder that tapers gracefully toward the base. The high-gloss finish creates a mirror-like surface that catches the light beautifully, making it a dramatic statement piece even when empty. This specific deep black "Ebony" glass was a hallmark of Fenton’s mid-to-late 20th-century production, valued for its weight and consistent, ink-dark saturation.

Despite some visible chipping around the top rim, the body of the vase remains in excellent condition with its original luster intact. The stamped Fenton logo on the bottom confirms its authenticity as a genuine piece of American art glass history. To style this, consider placing it against a stark white wall to emphasize the silhouette, or fill it with a single branch of bright cherry blossoms or pussy willow for a minimalist, Japanese-inspired aesthetic. It serves as an excellent anchor for a Contemporary or Gothic-themed mantle display, providing height and a grounded, moody elegance.

This item is vintage, approximately 40 years old. All measurements are close but approximate. I measure in quarter inches.
