eBay to benefit ALS Association!
Don’t
miss out on this very special opportunity to own an absolutely
unique Dave Fetty creation – a “feather” vessel that is no
ordinary vase – it’s extraordinary! Master glass craftsmen
Dave Fetty was positively inspired when he created this
intriguing double-neck Vase…starting with Milk glass, Violet
threads are
applied
over the piece and carefully pulled to create the unique and
desirable “feather” design, a medley of
amethyst and lavender hues covered
with crystal; a Black glass
ring is added to each opening to finish the piece. This
special Fabulous Fetty Feather Vase bears the signatures of
nine Fenton family members as well as the Dave Fetty
backstamp, making this handcrafted piece of artisan glass even
more desirable. The auction begins at noon on Monday, May 16,
2005.
The Fenton family chose
this unique piece to auction exclusively on eBay, with the
proceeds to benefit the ALS Association.
The ALS Association is the only
national non-profit
voluntary health organization dedicated solely to the fight
against ALS. Often referred to as Lou Gehrig’s disease,
amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive
neurodegenerative disease that attacks nerve cells and
pathways in the brain and spinal cord. There is no known cure
for ALS.
The Fenton Foundation of
the Fenton Art Glass Company has been providing philanthropic
support for over 50 years. In 2004, the Fenton Foundation
selected the ALS Association as its national
partner. The ALS Association was
chosen because of the Fenton family’s direct experiences with
this disease, and to date, Fenton has donated over $21,000.00
to the ALS Association through the sale of selected pieces. The
Fenton family will continue to
work in partnership with ALS Association to make advances
in
the fight against Lou Gehrig’s disease. For more information

The handcrafted Fabulous Fetty Feather Vase began as raw
materials became molten glass blown freeform or “offhand”,
shaped by Dave Fetty in the age-old tradition. Furnaces glow,
sparks fly, and from heat, noise and motion emerge works of
art.

glass for a century, Fenton Art Glass Company represents

WV, Fenton is known for its wide range of
