Provenance & Era
Fenton introduced custard satin glass in the mid-20th century, and the company’s hand-painted decorator program became one of its hallmarks. J. Mulniex is documented as a Fenton artist active during this period, working primarily in the late 1960s through 1970s on custard and satin finishes. Her distinctive daisy motif and gentle brushwork reflect the individual artistry of Fenton’s decorators, whose names are hand-signed on each piece.
