Other leading collectibles include hobnail glass (with raised spheres on the surface of the glass) and milk glass. Fenton made glass for 104 years and remains popular and cherished to this day. The Fenton Art Glass Company was the largest manufacturer of handmade colored glass in the U.S. and remains among the foremost glass manufacturers in the world.
