Michelle Kibbe created a
fabulous Fall-themed design
on a trio of popular shapes. We've named Michelle's design
"Sunflower Crow". For this
trio, you will pre-order
each piece separately.
Choose from a 10" Vase, a
5.5" Owl and a 6.5" Witch, each piece handcrafted in Opal Satin
glass. OR... order all three for a fabulous tabletop display! Front and back views
of these pieces are shown
above in the
group photos.
The 10" Sunflower Crow Vase also has a smiling scarecrow
dressed in a patchwork shirt
guarding the pumpkin patch.
He appears to be "eyeing" that crow perched on its arm.
Hand painted sunflowers encircle
the
vase. Polka dot and color bands accent this vase. Each Sunflower Crow Vase is
$150.
You'll be mesmerized by the large black and
orange eyes on this Owl figurine! Michelle did a
marvelous job incorporating her "Sunflower Crow"
theme on
this 5.5" figurine.She hand painted the figurine in natural tones
and added the black crow and sunflowers motif. Each Sunflower Crow Owl Figurine
is $90.
The "Sunflower Crow Witch" figurine
completes this Fall trio. Michelle adorned this figurine
in a patchwork hat and cloak and added bright orange hair.
The witch is holding a bag, perhaps filled with secret ingredients for her
next "witch's brew". Each Sunflower Crow Witch Figurine
is $115.

Owl and Witch Figurines and Vase will be accepted until midnight

Meet "Pete 'n Patti Pumpkin", our latest
figurine couple featuring a hand painted design
by Kim Barley. This fun loving couple is ready to go trick or
treating in style! Pete 'n Patti are dressed in festive Halloween
attire. Each figurine sports a toothy grin, as do the
pumpkins!
Pete sports an orange and black striped
scarf along with a vine covered hat that has a purple
spider accessory. A black cat face adorns Pete's gloves
and another cat is the clasp on Patti's purse. Patti also
sports a vine-covered hat with an orange and black trim.
Did you notice that the purple and black
buttons on each figurine spell out the word "Boo"!
Kim completes this Halloween design with
golden stars, purple curliques and black polka dot
accents. On the
back of each 4" tall figurine, Kim added a spider
dangling from a large web. See the photo below for views from all sides
of this delightful pair.
These figurines are perfect for your
seasonal display and are sure to become family favorites!
Each Pete 'n Patti Pumpkin
Figurine Pair is $150.

Kim Barley was thinking about Thanksgiving and thought outside the creative box
to create a whimsical "TurKat" design for our 11" tall
Opal Satin Alley Cat figurine. Kim's hand painted design is
part turkey and part Alley Cat. She added subtle Tabby Cat
stripes and adorned this figurine in a bright blue jacket vest
with basket weave pockets and red apple buttons. She added a
polka dotted bowtie as well as a sunflower,
pumpkins and basketful of apples in vibrant seasonal hues.
That mischievous grin has been transformed into a grinning
turkey face. Note the feathers above the eyes. Each
TurKat Alley Cat Figurine is $220.
Robin Spindler has captured the beauty of nature with
her magnificent design on this 11.5" Opal Satin Vase.
An eagle soars overhead as a lone horse (could it be a
wild Mustang?) stands majestically amongst the lush
landscape. Robin incorporated a rainbow of colors in
the dark green pines, snow-topped mountain peaks and
purple and green foliage. Her hand painted details on
the horse and on the eagle are meticulous and true to
life. This vase makes an impressive statement.
Each Nature's Majesty Vase is
$245.
Pre-orders for the
Pete 'n Patti Pumpkin Figurine Pair,
TurKat Alley Cat Figurine and Nature's Majesty
Vase will be accepted
until midnight (ET) on Wednesday, August 16, 2017. To place your pre-order, please call the Fenton Gift Shop: 1-800-319-7793, ext. 342 or
send us an email:
purchasing@fentongiftshop.com and include the items you want to purchase in

 As
mentioned in last week's newsletter, the Fenton Gift Shop
has offered about 10,000 moulds for sale.
The link below will take you to an Excel
spreadsheet that lists all of the moulds in numerical
order from the Fenton record system. The spreadsheet lists
the moulds in numerical order (column A) as recorded in
the Fenton system. Information in other columns will help
you. Columns D and K provide brief descriptions of each
mould. When known, the previous owner of a mould is listed
in column Q. Fenton historian James Measell traced the
histories of many moulds, and his comments are in columns
S and T. The current status of any moulds sold (or
promised) to a particular purchaser is noted in column U.
The prices for moulds are in column M. This Excel file is
"searchable" so
you can use your search terms to try to
find particular moulds.

The
links below will take you to files with the Fenton mould
pictures including crimps and optic moulds.
These color photos of the moulds are in the same numerical
order as column A in the Excel spreadsheet. View these
photos on your computer and keep the Excel spreadsheet at
hand simultaneously. Please note: the Excel spreadsheet
will be updated from time to time as moulds are sold or
promised to purchasers. |
Fenton Art Glass
eBay Auctions. . .
Here's an opportunity
to own a beautiful
"one-of-a-kind" art
glass creation through our weekly
eBay auctions. This auction ends
at noon (ET) on Wednesday, August 16th.
Items featured this week.
The colorful Cardinal loves to perch in pine
boughs, and Fenton artist Michelle Kibbe created and hand
painted this remarkable depiction of this pair of America's
best loved birds. This Lotus Mist Burmese pitcher stands 8.5"
tall and has an applied fine rib handle; note the distinctive
crimp style and the lip, both tributes to the skills of Fenton
glassworkers.
This Opal Satin candy jar measures 9.5" tall to the very top
of the cover, and Fenton designer Robin Spindler has worked
her magic to create and hand paint this delightful scene. Twin
fawns pause for their portrait while frolicking in a meadow,
and a red-roofed farmhouse is depicted in the background. Note
the delicate hand painted flowers and the applied gemstones on
the base and cover, too!
The Meadowlark is among the best-loved birds in America, and
Michelle Kibbe has captured all of its charm on this stately,
one-of-a-kind 10.25" tall vase in Fenton's Aubergine glass. We
can almost hear the Meadowlark's distinctive, flutelike call
... a real tribute to Michelle's talents and skills. Note the
colorful flowers, sponge technique with antique gold paint and
the graceful banding.
