| Moonstone Glass Sugar Bowl With a Pedestal Base |
This vintage hobnail open sugar bowl belonged to my grandmother Miller. The Moonstone glass sugar bowl has a pedestal base with a white frosted top edge and two large "ear" handles This style glass was manufactured by several different companies during the 1940's and 1950's and is referred to by different names. Anchor Hocking called it "Moonstone”, a lovely blue glow, just like the moonstone it was named after. Fenton called it French Opalescence Hobnail. The opalescence has a beautiful bronze depth when viewed in the light. It is made using clear glass and bone ash is thrown into the mix to give that white opal coloring. This sugar bowl is about 4 inches wide from handle to handle, 2-1/2 inches deep and about 2 inches tall. I do not have the glass companion creamer and not sure if this is an Anchor Hocking or Fenton sugar bowl. Only she would know where she purchased the bowl or if it was a gift.
