terized by its pattern of raised knobs or studs, has a rich history dating back to the Victorian era, where it was known as "Dew Drop" glass. The name "hobnail" is derived from the rounded studs on boot soles. While hobnail glass existed in the 19th century, it gained significant popularity in the 20th century, particularly during the 1930s and 1940s, with the Fenton Art Glass Company being a prominent producer. Hobnail glass was often made in translucent colors and later in white milk glass. It became a signature style of Fenton and other glassworks, including Hobbs, Brockunier and Company, Westmoreland Glass, and Kemple Glass.
Here's a more detailed look at its history:
Victorian Era (19th Century):
Hobnail glass, often called "Dew Drop" glass, was popular in vessels like lemonade pitchers and glasses.
Early 20th Century:
The Fenton Art Glass Company started producing hobnail glass in the late 1930s, initially in translucent colors.
Mid-20th Century:
Fenton introduced milk glass hobnail in 1950, which became a hugely successful product line and helped the company survive challenging times.
Later Years:
Fenton continued to produce hobnail glass for decades, and other glassworks like Westmoreland also produced it. Today, hobnail glass is still collected and appreciated for its unique appearance and history.
