Our stately 11" Opal Satin Vase
provides the perfect canvas for Robin Spindler's hand painted
design of a pair of male American Goldfinches with a colorful
thistle background. Robin added golden brown leaf accents on
the top and bottom of this vase to frame the scene. Did
you know. . . The American Goldfinch, a welcome sight
at feeders, is the state bird of New Jersey, Iowa, and
Washington. Goldfinch males are brilliant yellow and shiny
black with a bit of white, while the females are more dull in
color. The brightening yellow of male Goldfinches each Spring
is a welcome sign of the approaching warmer months. Needless
to say, we are ready to see more American Goldfinches in our
area!
Each Goldfinch Vase is
$180.

3.5" Duckling Figurine is ready for a rainy day! Kim

weather! Note those big brown eyes!

Fenton Art Glass eBay Auctions. . .
 Here's
an opportunity to own a beautiful "one-of-a-kind" art glass
creation or unique art glass item through our weekly eBay auctions. These auctions will end at noon (ET) on
Wednesday, January 24th.
Items featured this week. . .
With cased Persimmon/Milk Glass for her canvas,
Fenton artist Michelle Kibbe designed and hand painted this
wonderful, one-of-a-kind 10.75" tall vase. Her design features
animals found in the Savannah. . . an elephant, a giraffe, a
zebra and a tiger. For more than half a century, overlay
colors were produced by Fenton. Typically, a core of Milk
Glass is gathered and shaped by a skilled glassworker called a
Blocker. Then, a layer of colored glass is gathered over the
Milk Glass. Fenton's glass technologists assured that the two
layers of glass matched perfectly, expanding and contracting
at the same rate. Michelle's hand painted details on each
animal is meticulous and true-to-life. You almost want to
reach out and touch them! Note especially the eyes on the
giraffe and the expression on the tiger. This vase is sure to
become a family heirloom.
Spring is in the air! Kim Barley's ready for
warmer weather with her delightful hand painted design of a
chickadee and colorful seasonal flowers. Note the vibrant pink
and white daisies and purple flowers as well as that
mischievous expression on the Alley Cat's face! Kim also added
a pink heart-shaped nose and a large white daisy to the face.
The details on the Chickadee are meticulously executed. The
Alley Cat is among the most collectible items in Fenton's
history. The mould for this piece originated at the United
States Glass Co. in Ohio during the 1920s and was purchased by
Fenton Art Glass about 40 years later. This 11" Alley Cat was
handcrafted in Rose glass by Mosser exclusively for Fenton,
using the Fenton Art Glass mould.
These auctions will end at noon (ET) on
Wednesday, January 24th.
