Robin Spindler continues her safari theme (see July 21 newsletter for a coordinating vase) on this 10.75" Opal Satin Vase. She hand painted colorful cheetah spots and vertical tiger stripes and added delicate white bands to help frame this tender scene of a mother Zebra with her young. The back of the vase features the landscape of their native habitat.
Did you know... Zebras have been called “striped horses.” Similar to horses, female zebras are known as mares; male zebras are stallions and babies are foals. Each Safe Vase is $190.
Michelle Kibbe has transformed this 5.75" figurine into a pumpkin-orange ghost adorned with spider-filled webs. She added a leaded glass style window covering a hazy full moon.

A black cat (Le chat noir in French) with golden eyes is perched on the windowsill. Note the white spider on

the cap and that wonderful expression on the face.

This figurine will make a great addition to any Halloween display.
Each Le Chat Noir Ghost Figurine is $115.

Our elegant Opal Satin Vase and Fox figurine provide the perfect canvas for Michelle Kibbe's Covered Bridge design. This pair will look wonderful when displayed in your home! Michelle airbrushed each piece to create the landscape and sky, then added her wonderful scene on each piece.   Two geese swim in the water near the covered bridge on the 10.75" vase. Michelle hand painted lush greenery in the background. She used polka dot accents around the base to complete the look.   We show more views of these two items below so you may see the completed design on each piece. Each Covered Bridge Vase is $185.   The 4.25" tall Opal Satin Fox figurine goes nicely with the vase as Michelle created a similar scene on the figurine. A lone goose glides across the water.   Michelle airbrushed this Opal Satin Fox figurine in natural tones and added a wonderful realistic expression to the face. Each Covered Bridge Fox Figurine is $85.

Perfect for your Halloween display and sure to become a favorite among your Fenton collection! You'll delight at all of the colorful and whimsical hand painted details created by Kim Barley for this 5.5" Opal Satin Owl Figurine.   A close-up of the head shows Kim's use of vibrant hues of teal and purple and the gold accents around the eyes. She's added all the popular Halloween symbols on this figurine... from a scraggly tree, golden stars and spider web to a haunted house, witch with her broomstick and a black cat. All views of this fabulous figurine are shown below. Each Bewitched Owl Figurine is $95.

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 23. Items featured this week.
 

Here's a one-in-a-lifetime opportunity to acquire the #1 SAMPLE of a wonderful item designed and hand painted by award-winning Fenton artist Robin Spindler. Made of lustrous black glass, this Ginger Jar stands 8.25" tall, including its base and cap. NOTE: It was a challenge to capture the true beauty of this piece with photography. Robin's design features lush jungle foliage, but the most remarkable aspect of this piece is her meticulously hand painted depiction of the Leopard. This majestic animal seems to come to life as a result of Robin's amazing talents and skills. This unique piece was also personally signed by company President George Fenton and by director of design Nancy Fenton. The outside bottom also carries this lettering: "Designed by J. K. Spindler sample 1/4 hand painted by J. K. Spindler".

Wow, talk about understated elegance! This one-of-a-kind Aubergine Satin trumpet vase (7.5" tall) created and hand painted by Fenton artist Michelle Kibbe features a remarkably delicate, highly-detailed floral motif that contrasts beautifully with the glass. Note the graceful foliage amidst the flowers and the meticulous beading ... all hand painted!

Burmese glass is a classic Fenton color, and this one-of-a-kind 6" tall vase is a tribute to our glass chemists and artists alike. Fenton Artist Michelle Kibbe created and hand painted the lush foliage and floral motif featuring purple Hydrangeas and delicate butterflies, and all the details are simply remarkable.

Here’s a great opportunity to acquire a unique piece of Fenton history. When our 12-pot furnace was shut down for repairs in July 1980, small lumps of glass in various colors remained in the bottoms of some pots. Some of this glass was ground and polished by Fenton employee Jim Stage, who was then foreman of the Finishing Department (Jim is now associated with the Williamstown Antique Mall). This crystal piece measures 4" by 3-3/8", and it will make a nice paperweight or accent piece to display with a Fenton collection. There will be some tiny nicks or other blemishes in this unique item. This crystal piece has been personally signed by company President George Fenton.
