Fenton USA Offers Exclusive to Benefit ALS Research

(Williamstown, WV, September 19, 2008). Fenton Art Glass has announced the creation of an Exclusive Family Signature Vase to help fund research for a cure for ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease).

The Golden Star on Ruby Flip Vase is available for sale through Fenton retail partners to consumers and collectors. This exclusive piece is handpainted with a golden ribbons and stars motif created by Fenton designer Kim Barley. She used a sponge technique to create the shimmery effect on the stars. Each piece
will have the signatures of Randy Fenton and Christine Fenton as well as the ALS Association logo.

A portion of sales from the Vase will be contributed directly to The ALS Association. ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis) 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 Art Glass Company selected The ALS Association as its national partner because of the Fenton family's direct experiences with this disease.

Item 4751 3X ALS Exclusive Golden Star on Ruby Flip Vase with Randy Fenton and Christine Fenton signatures and the ALS Association logo. Retails for $119.50 U.S.
