Fenton Jacqueline Vase in
Pink Opaline

Made in 1960-1961

In 1960 Fenton introduced a pattern called Jacqueline, in honor of America’s First Lady. It looks like rows of overlapping petals. They also used three special colors for this pattern, blue opaline, yellow opaline and pink opaline.

This piece is the 5” pink opaline vase, ware #9153PN. It is actually more of a lavender color than a pink. When light comes through, it has some of the “fire” look one associates with opals. The base is 2 ¾” in diameter and the top opening is 3”. The piece is pictured on page 317 of Fenton Art Glass Patterns 1939-1980 by Whitmyer. There are what they call ash bits embedded in the glass, as shown in one of the pictures, but they were in the making and do not distract from the piece. There are no other chips or cracks.
