This 9.75" Opal
Satin Vase has an elegant shape that is the perfect canvas
for Michelle Kibbe's "Pond Pals" design. The photo at left
shows both hand painted views of the vase with the
matching Mallard figurine.
On one side of the vase are two cute and curious
ducklings. One duckling observes a pink butterfly hovering
nearby and the other one checks out a frog peeking out of
the water. The other side of this vase has a large green
frog on a lily pad and wonderful shoreline foliage.
Michelle added decorative bands and polka dots as accents
to complete the look of this piece. Each Pond Pals Vase is $145.
Did you know. . . There are
70 known species of water lilies found all over the world.
Water lilies grow in shallow and still freshwater. Open
notches on the side of the lily pad are used to drain
excess water that collects on the top. Lily Pads provide
safe havens for frogs and snails. A variety of insects use
the lily pads as hosts for their eggs.
Michelle created a matching "Pond Pals"
design for our 5" long Opal Satin Mallard Figurine. Lily
Pads and lush pink flowers float in the calm blue water.
Michelle added a large green frog resting on one of the
lily pads that resembles the one on the vase. The head of
this figurine is hand painted the distinctive green with a
yellow bill and white neck ring of the traditional
mallard. Each Pond Pals Mallard Figurine is $75. |

Perfect gift for the fishing
enthusiast! Michelle Kibbe created a marvelous
outdoor scene featuring a Large Mouth Bass jumping
out of the water on our 4.5" tall Fenton Art Glass Crystal Iceberg

paperweight is another view of this serene
landscape. Each Bass Iceberg Paperweight
is $80
and limited to 12 paperweights. |
Cast a soft, warm
light in any room with our 8" Fairy Light Lighthouse. This

not used for production before glassmaking halted at
Fenton in 2011.

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, February 7.
Items featured this week. . .
Fenton Mulberry is a marvelous glass color, and the talents
and hand painting skills of Fenton artist Michelle Kibbe
combine to make this stately (10" tall) one-of-a-kind vase a
"must have!" The color is achieved by covering a bud of
gold ruby glass with dazzling Azure Blue. Great care must be
exercised by the glassblower to create the desirable fade
effect. Michelle's hand painted motif feature a vivid
Goldfinch and a stylized young Blue Jay. Each bird is perched
amidst lush flowers and foliage. The hand painted colors and
details are meticulous and a delight to see.
Here’s a unique opportunity to acquire a piece of Fenton
history! This 8” x 10” borderless black-and-white print was
made from an original negative in the Fenton Art Glass Company
archives. The photo was taken on February 28, 1943, when six
Fenton employees then serving in the armed forces during World
War II happened to be on furlough and were at home in
Williamstown. The servicemen are in uniform in the front row,
and committee members of the American Flint Glass Workers
Local Union No. 22 are in the back row along with Fenton Art
Glass Co. management officials. Complete captions will be
supplied to the winning bidder for this photo.
Fenton artist Michelle Kibbe designed and hand painted this
splendid one-of-a-kind paperweight (4.5" tall). Her
interesting hand painted design features a tranquil lake on
one side and a real "lunker" of a largemouth bass on the
other side! All the hand painted details are meticulously
executed on this crystal glass iceberg paperweight. The hand
painted bass is so remarkably realistic that we're waiting
breathlessly to hear the splash! These
auctions will end at noon (ET) on Wednesday, February 7.
