NEW Fenton Gift Shop Limited Editions . . .
Fenton Gift Shop is pleased to offer a new selection of Limited Editions! 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 an 11" Alley Cat in satin finished Rose glass, as well as an 8" satin finished Crown Tuscan Chessie Cat Covered Box, a 9.5" Opal Satin Candy Box, a 3" Ruby Satin Mouse figurine and a 3.5" Opal Satin Lop Eared Bunny figurine, all handcrafted by Mosser Glass. These pieces were made exclusively for the Fenton Gift Shop, using a Fenton mould, and returned to our factory where our talented designers created these wonderful Limited Edition designs! You may also request that we add your email address to Fenton Gift Shop's mailing list to receive future limited edition notifications.

Our 11" Alley Cat with that delightful grin is pretty in pink! A NEW color for our limited editions, this Rose Alley Cat features a wonderful hand painted scene designed by Robin Spindler. Mama cat appears to smile serenely as her white kittens play in the flowers at her feet. One curious kitten appears to meet up with a mouse. . . perhaps to play "cat and mouse!" Note the touch of "bling" on the cat's collar! Each Rosie and Her Kittens Alley Cat figurine is $235.

 

The back side of our popular Chessie Cat Covered Box has been transformed into a garden of vibrant poppies! A black and white kitten settles down for a "cat nap" on the front. The soft pink hues of Crown Tuscan glass provide the perfect canvas for this design by Frances Burton. Her delicate hand painted poppy flowers are lovely and the details on the kitten make you want to reach out and pet it!

 

Did you know that the "Chessie" cat was a popular character used as a symbol for the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway. They used this artwork with their slogan that, when traveling on their railway, you would "sleep like a kitten".

Each Poppies Kitten Chessie Cat Covered Box  is $195.

Pre-orders for the Rosie and Her Kittens Alley Cat figurine and the Poppies Kitten Chessie Cat Covered Box will be accepted until midnight (ET) on Monday, May 23rd.

 

Shown below are two "must haves" for figurine collectors. . . an Opal Satin Lop-eared Bunny and a Ruby Satin Mouse! Frances Burton's design for this "Flopsy" Bunny figurine includes a heart-shaped nose and a wide-eyed and smiling face. "Flopsy" holds a flower that matches the one on the headband! Soft pink shading completes the look for this adorable figurine. Each Flopsy Bunny figurine is $75.

 

One look at Kim Barley's design for this Ruby Satin Mouse figurine and we had the name. . . Jammin'. The glass "batch" to make Ruby is sensitive to heat with interesting color variations. Collectors take great delight in the red-orange effect called "amberina" and it's very evident on the ears and paws of this figurine! Each Jammin' Mouse figurine is $75.

Below: Frances Burton's hand painted details on this Opal Satin Candy Box will brighten up any room in your home! Her vibrant use of color and delicate brushstrokes for the flowers and the basket weaves add to the beauty of this design. Each Basket of Pansies Candy Box is $180.

Pre-orders for the Flopsy Bunny and  Jammin' Mouse figurines and the Basket of Pansies Candy Box will be accepted until midnight (ET) on Wednesday, May 25th.

Fenton's Weekly eBay Auctions. . .

Here's your opportunity to own a beautiful 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. . .

 

A sketch by longtime Fenton mould maker Lynn Russi provided all the inspiration
Frances Burton needed to create this wonderful one-of-a-kind 10" vase! The
satin finished light green glass was made at Fenton in the early 2000s using
an historic Fenton mould that is more than 70 years old, and Lynn's sketch was an interesting depiction of a "Pennsylvania Dutch-style" bird. Frances chose the colors for her hand painting, and the results are a sight to behold.

The Chickens have come home … but they're not about to roost! These colorful birds are hand painted by Michelle Kibbe on this one-of-a-kind pitcher (8.5" tall) in satin finished Lotus Mist Burmese, made by Fenton with a mould acquired from Indiana Glass in 2003 (note the distinctive crimp style!). Michelle's hand painting is remarkably detailed, and the blue band adds to the eye appeal of this wonderful piece. Lotus Mist Burmese is a classic Fenton color, made with pure gold and subjected to special reheating techniques to create the pink blush.

Burmese glass is a classic Fenton color, and the Diamond Optic motif adds much to the appeal of this one-of-a-kind 10” tall basket by Fenton artist Michelle Kibbe. A happy Bluebird greets Spring from its perch, and we can almost hear its song! Fenton's Burmese glass contains pure gold, and careful reheating techniques by skilled glassworkers coax the pink blush to the surface. Special moulds are needed for the Diamond Optic. The base and bowl together measures 5.5” tall. Take a look at these offerings and other "Buy It Now" items available on our Fenton eBay Auctions.
