French Opalescent Hobnail (1940 - Mid 1960s) Fenton's French Opalescent is crystal glass with opalescence. This beautiful color was, and still is, very popular with collectors. Because of the popularity of the color and length of time it was made, the line is quite extensive and collectors can 
add many beautiful pieces to their collections. Hobnail in French Opalescent entered the Fenton line in 1940. This crystal glass with opalescent hobs proved to be popular through the 1940s and early 1950s. Most Hobnail items in this color were discontinued by the mid-1950s. However a few of the more popular items were made through the 1950s. Tumblers were made into the 1960s, but they are the only items made after 1960. In 1965 French Opalescent Hobnail was discontinued from the Fenton general line. © Margaret and Kenn Whitmyer
