Fenton Happiness Bird in Daisies on Custard Satin Uranium Glass

Glowing softly under blacklight and warm with meaning, this Fenton "Happiness Bird" captures everything beloved about American art glass in the 1970s. With its smooth satin custard glass and hand-painted daisies, this whimsical figurine was designed not just to sit on a shelf, but to bring joy. Produced between 1975 and 1980, the bird features uranium in the glass composition, creating a green glow under UV light—a coveted trait for collectors of glowing glass.

Long associated with peace and encouragement, Fenton Happiness Birds were often gifted to mark life’s transitions: a move, a graduation, a new beginning. This one is signed by the artist and retains its original Fenton label. Though the tail has been discreetly repaired, it remains a beautiful and rare piece that deserves a place of honor in any vintage display.

Condition:
