Designed by renowned cameo artists Kelsey Murphy and Robert Bomkamp,
this 105 Years of Glass vase is handcrafted in our rich Ruby glass and covered with pure Milk Glass, using demanding techniques applied by Fenton's skilled glassworkers. We’re sure that the remarkable cameo carving on this vase captures the very essence of Fenton Art Glass.

Cameo carving is a a painstaking process. After the glass has been annealed, a special mask is taped to the surface of the glass. Using an advanced vignetting technique, each piece is carefully sandcarved, by hand, using aluminum oxide crystal under pressure to take away some of the surface. Great individual skill and experience are needed to control this operation, as many distinct stages of successive cameo carving are required to create the remarkable depth and the intricate details.

Cameo artists Kelsey Murphy and Robert Bomkamp used photographs of glassworkers and decorators at work in our plant. Our original intent was to produce this "105 Years of Glass" vase as a numbered limited edition to be sold on QVC, but our plans changed when Kelsey and Bob created another design that we subsequently produced as our "Artistry" vase and offered through Fenton dealers (these are sold out!). Kelsey and Bob continued to work on their "105 Years of Glass" concept, and we ultimately produced just 25 of these very special vases. Just ten vases now remain in our inventory!

C8812FH - Cameo Carved 105 Years of Glassmaking Vase $1,275 + FREE Shipping/Handling and Payment Plan!


Each time you look upon this vase, you’ll discover dramatic details and subtle shading. You’ll marvel at the  perspective and depth inherent in cameo carved art glass. The 105 Years of Glass vase depicts traditional
glassmaking—gathering, pressing, blowing, and finishing—as well as the art of the decorator and the cameo carver. These are the people whose skills and talents have made Fenton Art Glass famous worldwide. The people depicted on  this vase were longtime Fenton employees, including Chris Carpenter, Ron Dick, Alice Farley, Dave Fetty, Carol  Griffiths, and Frank Workman. Each vase is numbered and has ''105 Years of Glass'' with the Fenton script "F'' and the signatures of Kelsey and Robert inscribed on the bottom (see photo above). Going, going, gone... don't miss an opportunity to own a piece of history from Fenton Art Glass!

Celebrate the Art of Glassmaking with Dave Fetty's Pulled Feather Vase. . .

This beautiful 6'' Offhand Vase was created by master glass artisan Dave Fetty. Dave revisited one of his favorite off-hand decorative techniques, Pulled Feather, which he learned when he worked with Robert Barber in the mid-1970s.

Milk Glass and Opaque Lavender are the perfect background for the hand-applied threading that is transformed into "feathers" with special tools in Dave's s
killed hands. The technique requires both sharp eyes and steady hands to create the desired effect. These selections are ''slightly irregular'' production samples and will vary in size and color. Each vase has Dave's personal stamp on the bottom (see photo at right). No two will be alike. These vases are being offered, while supplies last, as the special price
of $117.00.
