Cameo carving is a painstaking process. After the glass has been annealed, a special mask is taped to the surface of the glass. Using an advanced "vignetting" technique, each piece is carefully sand carved, by hand, using aluminum oxide crystals under pressure to take away some of the surface. Great skill and experience are needed to control this operation, as many distinct stages of successive cameo carving are required to create the remarkable depth and the intricate details.

This magnificent 6" Flip Vase is handcrafted in Marigold Carnival glass. The Marigold finish is reminiscent of Fenton's first Carnival glass in 1907-1908. The marigold color is created using a complex combination of tin and iron metallic salts that are sprayed in succession on the piece while it is red hot and then the piece is reheated a second time to achieve the soft satin patina of this historic color.   The cameo carved Lily of the Valley design was created by Cathy Mackey. Petite Lily of the Valley bells hang daintily under the protection of a beautiful Daylily. This vase was handcrafted at the Fenton factory during 2009-2011. Each Vase is signed on the bottom: Cathy Mackey and T K Fenton (son of Frank M. Fenton). Each Lily of the Valley Marigold Carnival Cameo Carved Flip Vase is $295 and limited to nine vases.

Our Mallard Figurine in Opal Satin sports a large hand painted pinecone on each side and a heart and star necklace. Kim Barley created the design using pastel hues of aqua-blue and beige. She added a white band around the neck and darker brown on the beak to complete the look on this 5" Mallard figurine. Each Heart Star Mallard Figurine is $80. This wonderful crystal iceberg paperweight (5″ wide, 4.25″ tall) features a hand painted scene by Fenton artist Michelle Kibbe of a ruby-throated hummingbird hovering near beautiful purple irises. The crystal glass creates an interesting sense of depth to the scene, and the details are simply exquisite. Michelle hand painted the design on the satin finished back and it shows beautifully through on the crystal side. Michelle's signature appears on one of the green leaves and each iceberg will also be dated and numbered on the bottom. Each Hummingbird and Irises Iceberg Paperweight is $80 and limited to 20.   Pre-orders for the Lily of the Valley Marigold Carnival Cameo Carved Flip Vase, Heart Star Mallard Figurine and the Hummingbird and Iris Iceberg Paperweight will be accepted until midnight (ET) on Wednesday, November 1, 2017.

Fenton artist Michelle Kibbe has created a wonderful one-of-a-kind hand painted vase.She designed and hand painted a magnificent scene of two hummingbirds sipping nectar from lush purple Iris flowers, and the scene completely encircles the vase. The handpainted details are simply remarkable. Rosalene glass is a classic Fenton color, and this one-of-a-kind 8.5” tall vase is a tribute to our glass chemists, glassworkers and artists alike. In the late 1960s Frank M. Fenton and Fenton chemist Charlie Goe wanted to duplicate an antique color called Pink Slag. This heat-sensitive glass was made in the early 1900s for a brief time by another glass company. By adding pure gold to an opaque glass batch and reheating the formed piece, the soft white glass became a wonderful soft pink. Frank M. Fenton named the new glass Rosalene. After some production difficulties and further experimentation, Fenton produced the first Rosalene grouping in 1976. Over the years Rosalene has adapted to a variety of shapes and treatments. Note the distinctive top crimp.

Fenton artist Kim Barley has this one-of-a-kind Opal Satin Mouse on fount figurine all ready for sewing!

Note the hand lettered words “I’m Sew” on one ear and “Happy” on the other ear. Kim added stitchery details on the ears and a small heart-shaped stitching. The fount includes many popular sewing items (all hand painted!), including a large pincushion, needle and thread, scissors, a hand-pieced quilt, buttons, measuring tape, a pattern and a thimble full of flowers!
