5 inches. This Fenton art glass egg paperweight was produced in 1976 to commemorate the American Bicentennial. The piece is crafted from solid, hand-blown glass featuring a patriotic swirl pattern composed of vibrant red, white, and blue glass. The exterior surface is highly polished to a smooth finish. The base of the egg features an etched Fenton oval logo with a small number 9 positioned above the letter n. Directly below the logo, the date 1976 is etched, followed by the initials RD, identifying the work of Fenton artist Robert Barber. The piece retains its original gold foil manufacturer’s label on the side, which features the Fenton glassblower logo and the text AUTHENTIC Fenton HANDMADE.
