Description / About: Flared Vase: APPROX. 5.5" H. - 7.5" W. - (1933 - 1934) Mandarin Red is an opaque red color with a swirling or marbling effect in the glass. The swirling results from the way glass is gathered when a piece is made. To achieve the marbled appearance, the gatherer simply does not clean the excess glass from his punty when he gathers molten glass for a new piece. The difference in temperature of the old glass and the new glass produces different shades of red glass which are spread throughout the piece when the glass is pressed in a mold. Mandarin Red is a difficult color to find due to the fact that it was only made for two years. In honor of the American Bicentennial, the Mandarin red formula was revived in 1975 to produce a color Fenton called Patriot Red. There were 5 pieces made. They are all marked with the large Fenton Backstamp. Mandarin Red pieces were not marked. I AM LISTING 3 OTHER PIECES OF MANDARIN RED.HAPPY TO COMBINE SHIPPING.
