Fenton Gift Shop Presents. . .
Designer Samples and May Day Specials!
For every piece of decorated Fenton offered,
our team of talented designers must first create a "designer
sample" for production approval. Sometimes slight changes may
be made in the design, and if not, that first completed piece
is designated as a "Sample" and so marked on the base of the
item, along with the artist's signature and the year it was
completed. Shown above are ten "Sample" selections offered
to glass collectors during the last several months. For
further information or to place your order, please email:
purchasing@fentongfitshop.com or call 1-800-319-7793,
ext. 342 and provide the number shown beside each
piece. These selections are
available on a first come, first served basis, and prices
vary, so don't delay adding one of these beautiful pieces to
your collection!

Fenton eBay Auctions. . .
Here's your
opportunity
to own a unique, rare, one-of-a-kind
creation, through our weekly eBay Auctions!
Items featured this week. . .
Shown at left is a "Designer Sample" Tangerine Vase
with a wonderful handpainted scene of a Zebra with her
young by Robin Spindler. Signed and dated and designated
"Sample".
The middle photo is of an original
copper plate used in printing Fenton Art Glass
Company catalogs. This example shows a Coin Dot vase and
dates from the late 1940s or early 1950s. Through the
years, the copper takes on a distinct patina, and we've
cleaned it gently with a special copper cleaner. This
original printing block is in remarkable condition for
its age.
Last, but not least, is an example of one
of the earliest Fenton glass colors, Amethyst
Opalescent, that dates from mid-1907. This sauce dish is
our pattern No. 8, now known as Cattail and Waterlily
(see close-ups of the pattern)
among collectors. The Fenton
Museum acquisition number is on the underside. Don't delay placing your
bid!
This auction ends at noon (ET) on Wednesday, May 6th. |
