The history of hobnail glass can be traced back to the Victorian era, when glassmakers experimented with different patterns and textures. The term "hobnail" refers to the pattern of raised knobs or studs that resembles a short nail with a thick head.

 

Here are some key events in the history of hobnail glass:

Victorian era

Early hobnail glass was known as "Dew Drop" glass and was often used in lemonade pitchers and matching glasses.

 

Great Depression

Glass manufacturers produced affordable hobnail glass to appeal to budget-conscious consumers.

 

Fenton Art Glass Company

Founded in 1905, Fenton began producing hobnail glass in the 1930s. Their hobnail line was a top-seller and allowed the company to survive World War II.

 

Post-World War II

Hobnail glass remained popular due to the resurgence of interest in vintage and retro styles in the 1950s and 1960s.

Hobnail glass is a sought-after collectible due to its nostalgic charm, range of colors, and the history and craftsmanship it represents.
