Fenton Glass Auctions Scheduled for 2014 . . .

Fenton Art Glass and the Fenton Gift Shop have scheduled three auctions during 2014 to sell more than 1,500 items of Fenton glass. Auction dates: April 26, June 14 and July 26 at auctioneer Randy Clark's Dexter City Auction Gallery in Dexter City, Ohio. The June 14 auction will feature rare Fenton Carnival glass, while the April 26 and July 26 auctions will feature other Fenton glass from throughout the factory's 109 years of glassmaking history. There are a total of 555 pieces in the April 26 auction. Shown at right is one of the beautiful pieces to be offered, a fantastic Karnak Red No. 3024 18-1/2'' vase with applied Hanging Vine decoration. This item was made ''off hand'' (without using a mould) in the mid-1920s by the European skilled glassworkers who were at Fenton. This vase was displayed for many years on the hearth of the fireplace in the home of company founder Frank L. Fenton and his wife Lillian.

Please click here for a link to Randy Clark's Dexter City Auction Gallery and click on the link for current auctions. Founded in 1905, the Fenton Art Glass Co. began making glass in Williamstown on January 2, 1907. Traditional glass production ceased in July 2011. The company continues today handcrafting art glass glass jewelry using many of the techniques, colors and treatments associated with Fenton Art Glass. There are currently 20 employees working to create and sell the jewelry collection (visit www.fentonartglass.com to see the 2014 collection!). The Fenton Gift Shop remains open, and its hours of operation for March 2014 are listed above.
