Salt and Pepper Shakers, Fenton Art Glass, Hobnail #3806, Dense White Milk Glass, Blown Glass, Made in USA, Vintage 1958–1970

The middle generation of Fenton's Hobnail milk glass — denser and brighter white than the pre-1958 pieces, with sharp hobnail points that hadn't yet softened into the smoother profile of the 1970s versions.

• Maker: Fenton Art Glass Co. (unsigned, pre-1972); Hobnail #3806
• Materials: Blown glass, dense bright white milk glass; pontil marks present
• Dimensions: Each approx. 3.0" tall x 1.5" diameter
• Origin: West Virginia, USA
• Era: Vintage, 1958–1970
• Condition: Very good — glass perfect, no broken or missing hobnails; one lid shows minor corrosion on the holes from salt contact, silver metal lids otherwise shiny and intact. Please review photos closely before purchasing, as all sales are final.

The ring of fire is still clearly visible on this middle-era glass. These pieces aren't marked with the Fenton logo, which wasn't added to Hobnail pieces until 1972–1973, but the pontil marks and construction are unmistakably genuine Fenton.

A lovely pair for a Fenton collector, a milk glass enthusiast, or a kitchen that appreciates beautiful, considered objects. Equally at home on a farmhouse table or a carefully curated shelf.

Fenton introduced the Hobnail pattern in 1939 and milk glass in 1950; this middle-era glass sits between the more translucent early production and the fully opaque white of later decades, making it a useful reference point for collectors dating their own pieces.

We also carry the earlier (1950–1958) and later (1970s–1980s) generations of this same Hobnail #3806 shaker — browse our shop to compare all three eras side by side.
