Description :

A gorgeous vintage Fenton Amberina Hobnail Fairy Lamp. Crafted by the renowned Fenton Art Glass Company during the mid-century era (circa 1960s–1970s), this iconic two-piece fairy light features a brilliant fiery color gradient.

The glass transitions beautifully from a deep ruby red at the crown of the dome to a warm, glowing golden amber orange at the scalloped base.

Covered in Fenton’s classic, high-relief hobnail pattern, the glass diffuses candle or tea light illumination perfectly to create a stunning mid-century ambiance. Additionally, this piece is UV-reactive; due to the cadmium used in the original glass formulation, it emits a vibrant neon orange/yellow glow under a blacklight.
