Vasa Murrhina is a term meaning "vessel of gems." Each unique Fenton bead captures a glittering layer of Goldstone. Our beadmakers use extreme care to maintain its sparkle in the hot flame.

NEW Fenton Gift Shop Limited Editions . . .

Fenton Gift Shop is pleased to offer these new Limited Edition selections, including NEW shapes! Each piece features a design by our award-winning Fenton artists, and will be hand painted, signed, numbered, and dated by the artist. Included in this grouping are items made at Mosser Glass: an 11" Ruby Satin Alley Cat and a 3.5" Opal Satin Sitting Cat figurine. Also included is a 14" Vase and a 10.25" Feather Vase, each handcrafted in Opal Satin by Davis-Lynch. These pieces were made exclusively for the Fenton Gift Shop, using a Fenton mould, and returned to our factory where our talented designers created wonderful Limited Edition designs!

This majestic 14" Opal Satin vase, another new shape for Fenton Gift Shop's Limited Editions, provided the perfect canvas for the stately giraffe and zebra scene designed by
J. K. "Robin" Spindler.
 

Robin designed a marvelous scene with giraffes on the front and back
of this vase, and a young zebra on the front that appears to be searching amongst these tall animals for its mother. The hand painted details are amazing. . . from the shadowy effect of the trees in the background to the metallic gold accents. Each Where is Mama Vase is $260.

 

Our delightful Sitting Cat figurine has been transformed into a tiger cat decked out in a bright polka dotted tie and ready for a day of cat tasks! Kim Barley hand painted this figurine in vibrant stripes and black accents on the ears. Note those expressive eyes and brightly colored nose! Each Tony the "Tie-ger" Sitting Cat figurine is $80 and limited to 11 pieces.


Pre-orders for the Where is Mama Vase and the Tony the "Tie-ger" Sitting Cat figurine will be accepted until midnight (ET) on Monday, April 11th.

The talented Kim Barley created a beautiful stylized hummingbird design for this 10.25" Opal Satin Feather Vase, a new shape for Fenton Gift Shop limited editions. Kim's delicate brushstrokes on the flowers and on the hummingbird's wings and tail feathers add to the elegance of this vase. Each Hummingbird Vase is $190.


Dogwoods are blooming beautifully on this Ruby Satin Alley Cat! Dogwood blossoms encircle this 11" figurine, even covering one eye! These hand painted delicate white blooms, designed by Robin Spindler, are beautiful on the dark satin of Ruby glass. Robin also added white accents to the face and legs of this Alley Cat figurine.

There are many legends concerning the Dogwood tree. According to Native American lore, Dogwoods are symbols of protection and safety.
In some parts of the United States there is a old saying that is a warning to farmers each Spring: “Do not plant a garden until it has snowed on the Dogwoods!” Each Dogwood Blooms Alley Cat is $230.

 

Pre-orders for the Hummingbird Vase and the Dogwood Alley Cat will be accepted until midnight (ET) on Wednesday, April 13th.

Fenton's Weekly eBay Auctions. . .

Here's your opportunity to own a beautiful, unique, rare, or one-of-a-kind item through our weekly eBay Auctions! Each one-of-a-kind art glass creation is dated, identified and signed by the award-winning Fenton artist who designed it. Shown here are our latest offerings. Items featured this week. . .

Fenton designer Robin Spindler continues to amaze us with her wonderful hand painted one-of-a-kind creations! This stately blown glass vase (10 5/8" tall) features a magnificent Leopard and her cub as well as exotic, colorful jungle foliage. The satin-finished black glass is the perfect background to showcase all of Robin's talents and skills. The mould used to make this vase originated at the Cambridge Glass Co. in the 1920s, and it made its way to Imperial Glass after Cambridge closed in the late 1950s. Fenton acquired the mould from Imperial when Imperial closed in the 1980s. The mould has distinctive raised areas near the bottom, and Robin has used these to create a splendid 3-D effect in her hand painting of the Leopard and cub.

Talented Kim Barley created and hand painted this adorable, one-of-a-kind set of mother Panda (3.25" tall) and her cub (2.5" tall). Made of Opal Satin glass, these figurines feature realistic Panda colors and depictions of bamboo shoots and leaves … the favorite Panda snack! As always, the eyes are remarkably expressive!


The one-of-a-kind vase (7.5" tall) in satin finished Milk Glass features a splendid hand painted decoration designed and painted by Fenton artist Michelle Kibbe. You'll love the colorful Chickens and the peaceful country scene on this stately vase. Careful airbrushing and decorative, hand painted bands add colorful touches to this vase. Take a look at these offerings and other "Buy It Now" items available on our Fenton eBay Auctions.
