Fenton Hand-Painted Burmese Satin Glass Ruffled Vase
Decorated by Dianna Barbour | Late 20th Century
Graceful, elegant, and unmistakably Fenton, this beautiful late 20th-century Burmese Satin Glass ruffled vase is a fine example of American art glass craftsmanship. Its softly ruffled rim is delicately shaded in warm blush pink, flowing into a rich satin ivory body that perfectly showcases the timeless beauty of Fenton's celebrated Burmese glass.
Adding to its charm is an exquisite hand-painted bouquet of pink roses accented with lush green foliage, carefully executed by renowned Fenton artist Dianna Barbour. Her signature on the underside confirms this as an authentic, individually hand-decorated piece. Because each vase was painted by hand, no two examples are exactly alike, making every signed piece a unique work of art.
One of the most fascinating features of this vase is its genuine uranium-bearing glass. Under ultraviolet light, it glows a brilliant emerald green—a captivating characteristic that has made Fenton Burmese glass especially desirable among both art glass collectors and uranium glass enthusiasts. The combination of elegant design and remarkable fluorescence makes this vase just as impressive under UV light as it is in natural light.
Inspired by the classic Burmese glass first introduced in the late 19th century, Fenton's interpretation has become one of the company's most recognizable and collectible art glass lines. This signed example beautifully combines traditional craftsmanship, delicate floral artistry, and the fascinating science of fluorescent uranium glass.
Whether displayed as a centerpiece, showcased in a fine art glass collection, or illuminated under ultraviolet light, this signed Dianna Barbour vase is sure to be admired for its beauty, craftsmanship, and collectible appeal.
Condition: Excellent vintage condition with no chips, cracks, or repairs. Signed on the underside by Fenton artist Dianna Barbour. A wonderful addition to any Fenton, Burmese glass, or uranium glass collection.
