Discover the romantic elegance of this vintage Fenton Rosalene Wild Rose Basket. This exquisite piece of American art glass features a delicate blush-pink hue that softens into a creamy white opalescence. Crafted using a heritage mold originally owned by L.G. Wright, this "Wild Rose" (or Embossed Rose) pattern is a timeless favorite among collectors for its deep, puffy floral relief and scalloped, ruffled rim.The Glass: Rare RosaleneRosalene is one of Fenton’s most celebrated glass formulas. Developed in the 1970s, this "slag" style glass contains real gold in the batch to achieve its signature heat-sensitive pink glow. The result is a stunning "strike" of

color that varies beautifully across the embossed roses and the crimped edges. The Markings & Provenance• The Bottom Mark: Features the molded Script "F" in an Oval. This specific mark was introduced by Fenton in 1983 to identify pieces made using molds acquired from other legendary glass companies (in this case, L.G. Wright).• The "Double" Strike: You may notice a slight "shadow" or doubling on the mark; this is a common characteristic of a strong mold strike during production and serves as a testament to its authentic, mid-1980s pressing. This is a first-quality piece (not a factory second).• The Handler’s Mark: Look closely at the base of the handle—the textured "leaf" design is the signature of the skilled Fenton artisan who hand-applied the molten glass handle to the basket.Condition & Measurements• Condition: Excellent vintage condition.
