7515 R4, 2002, "Trailing Floral" on Rosalene 6" Vase.

Colorful stylized flowers on blush rose are framed in a cascade of heart-shaped leaves and tiny berries in Fenton Artist Diane Gessel's enticing design.

The secret to Rosalene is the pure gold in the formula which enables the glass to become a lovely pink wherever it has been cooled and then reheated in the forming process.

Fenton's 2002 Honor collection is a tribute to fomer Fenton Chemist Charley Goe who began to develop Rosalene glass for them in the 1960's. Frank M. Fenton was inspired to create a new color that was similar to an antique glass known as pink slag, and together with Charley worked on several different formulas before achieving the first breakthrough in 1972. After much refinement a winner emerged and Rosalene was introduced in 1976
