Fenton
"Memorabilia" Auction Set for July 27th. . .
Don't miss this fantastic
opportunity
to
acquire
Fenton Art Glass Company "memorabilia"
at auction!
On Monday, July 27, auctioneer Randy Clark will
sell
50 lots (numbers 100 to 149A) consigned by Fenton.
Shown here is a marvelous conversation piece for any
collection! For many years, these signs were overhead at the
Fenton Art Glass Company time clock area where employees would
“clock in” and “clock out” using their
time cards. HOT METAL employees were those involved in glass
production on the factory floor, while COLD METAL employees
were those in Selecting, Finishing, Decorating, Packing,
Shipping, etc.
Also included in this auction are postcards
(one from 1907!), photos
(Dave Fetty in 1975!) and snapshots, original copper printing
plates from 1909-1911, many glassworkers'
tools (including
basket handler's marks) and some
wonderful one-of-a-kind Fenton articles decorated
by Robin Spindler, Kim Barley and Frances Burton. This auction begins at 10 a.m. (ET) on Monday, July 27, at
Randy Clark's Auction Gallery in Dexter City, Ohio (just off
I-77 about 20 miles north of Williamstown, WV). Pictures and a
descriptive listing of items are available on Randy's website:

can't attend this auction in person, you can place

Fenton Gift Shop Presents. . .
NEW Limited Edition Handcrafted Glass!
Fenton Gift Shop is pleased to offer four new Limited Edition
pieces, designed and handpainted by
our
award-winning Fenton Art Glass designers. Each piece will be handpainted, signed and dated by the artist.
The Opal Satin Amphora and Cobalt Flip Vase were handcrafted as exclusives for
the Fenton Gift Shop by Mosser Glass (using a Fenton mould).
Kim Barley gives a "hauntingly" different look
to this Opal Satin Amphora! Imagine the conversations you'll
start when your guests see this piece as part of your
Halloween tabletop display! Designed by Kim Barley, you'll
love the spooky handpainted details, from the tombstones
in the front yard and haunted house with the windows casting
an eerie glow to the black cat with shining eyes on the back
of this Amphora. This "Haunted House" Amphora with stand is $235.00
and it is limited to just 15 pieces.
Rich Cobalt Blue glass on this Flip Vase
provides the perfect canvas for the lovely Clematis design by
Frances Burton.
The handpainted design surrounds the entire vase and the
silohouette of vining leaves complete the look. This "Clematis"
Flip Vase is $195.
Pre-orders for the Limited Edition "Haunted
House" Amphora and the "Clematis" Flip Vase will be accepted
until midnight (ET) on Monday, July 20th, 2015.
At press time, the two additional selections
were not yet available for photography... but we can give you
a hint: a lovely 9" Opal Satin Vase by Frances Burton and an
Opal Satin Owl Figurine by Robin Spindler. We may have images
available in a few days. For preview photos of these two
pieces and to place your order for them or for the items
