NEW Limited Editions from Fenton Gift Shop. . .
We are pleased to offer new
Limited Edition selections for pre-orders. Each piece features
a hand painted design and will be signed, numbered and dated
by one of our talented designers. The Iceberg Paperweights were handcrafted by Mosser
Glass. The Lighthouse Fairy Light was made by Fenton
Collectibles. The remaining Limited Edition pieces were also
made by Mosser, using the Fenton moulds, exclusively for the
Fenton Gift Shop.
Our 10" Opal Satin Vase is the perfect
canvas for Michelle Kibbe's design of a
Red Fox family. Her hand painted design includes an earthen "burrow" with a vixen
watching over her two young kits. Michelle's
details are meticulous and true to life. Note those
mesmerizing eyes! Michelle added pinstripe accents and
a natural wooded landscape for the
background. Each Fox Burrow Vase is $195.
Did you know. . . This animal is nocturnal, sleeping 9-10 hours
during the day and hunting for food at night. Often
mentioned in folklore with a reputation for being sly
and cunning.

This 3" tall Opal Satin Duckling with an
absolutely adorable face is a "must have" for
collectors! Robin Spindler hand painted this figurine
in "natural" colors: a bright yellow body with an
orange bill and feet.
Those eyes and chubby cheeks
really make this design! Robin will also add a small
straw "bonnet" or "hat" to each figurine, so
be sure specify which style you would like on your
figurine! |
NOTE: Robin has five different
hat or bonnet styles for this figurine, available
first come, first served. When you place your

The 11" height of our Opal Satin Vase
creates the perfect background for Robin Spindler's scene
of a lone fisherman with a "big one" on the hook! Note
that splash in the water as a big fish is apparently fighting for the
bait!
The hand painted background, which
encircles the vase, is well executed, from the darker
greens, purples and burnished orange of the wooded area to
the barren trees and craggy rocks framing the water. You
can even see the depth of the water. The close-up photos
show Robin's talent for capturing the minute details. Note
the fisherman's woven creel with white stitching. Each
Fisherman Vase is $175.
Below: Kim Barley celebrates
Halloween with this fun and whimsical "Spooky Lighthouse" design on our
8" Fairy Light. This Lighthouse was handcrafted in
Opal Satin glass (base) and crystal (top) at Fenton
Collectibles using the Fenton Art Glass moulds that were
not used for production before glassmaking halted at
Fenton in 2011. The many hand painted details
encircling this Lighthouse are simply marvelous. Note the
dancing skeleton, ghosts, bats, pumpkins, spider webs and
spiders, spooky eyeballs, and more! How about those eerie
scraggly hands reaching up out of the ground! Kim created
the perfect "Spooky Lighthouse" for your Halloween
display! Each Spooky Lighthouse Fairy Light is
$130 and includes a battery-operated tea light. |
|
Below: The blue eyes of this majestic Grey Wolf are
hypnotic! Kim Barley's striking rendition is marvelous. . .
from the wintry night scene with pine trees and snow covered
landscape to the Grey Wolf's head in the foreground. The front
and back views of this 7" tall x 5.5" wide Crystal Iceberg Paperweight
(made by Mosser) are shown in the photo below. Did you
know. . . At birth, wolf pups tend to have darker fur
and blue eyes. Their eyes will change to a yellow-gold or
orange color at about 8–16 weeks old. Though rare, it is
possible for an adult wolf to retain its blue-colored eyes. Each
Grey Wolf Crystal Iceberg Paperweight is $95.

Vase, Spooky Lighthouse
Fairy Light and Grey Wolf Crystal Iceberg Paperweight will be accepted until midnight (ET) on
Wednesday, March 28, 2018.

Items featured this week. . .
What a combination on this
one-of-a-kind Amphora vase... fabulous Fenton
Favrene glass and a hand painted one-in-million
yellow
Cardinal! Inspired by recent news of a rare yellow
Cardinal spotted in Alabama, award-winning Fenton
artist Robin Spindler combined
delicate sandcarving and airbrushing with
meticulous hand painting to create this wonderful
one-of-a-kind piece. This Amphora vase stands 14"
tall in its antique brass stand. Vivid hand
painted butterflies with applied gem accents adorn
part of the 12” vase, but Robin's hand painted
depiction of the rare yellow Cardinal perched on
the front is the real focal point of this
remarkable combination of talent and skills.
Favrene glass containing pure silver is a classic
Fenton product, and special techniques were needed
to create the distinctive iridescence. This
one-of-a-kind Favrene Amphora vase is signed ("JKSpindler
2018") on the body of the vase; the Fenton cursive
"F" logo is on the underside as well as the
inscribed "OOAK".
Fenton artist Michelle Kibbe is getting ready for
Spring, and this wonderful, one-of-a-kind hand
painted Blue Burmese basket (8" tall) is a sure
sign that Spring is already here! Blue Burmese is
a classic Fenton color that contains pure gold,
and special reheating techniques by our
glassworkers were needed to create the delicate
pink blush. Michelle's hand painted design
combines delicate latticework with rich green
foliage and lush flowers in various colors, as you
can see in the photos. Note the dramatic crimp
style, the twisted handle, and the distinctive
handler's mark of skilled glassworker Butch
Wright.
Award-winning Fenton designer Robin Spindler loves
to depict unusual, seldom seen members of the
animal kingdom, and this splendid one-of-a-kind
figurine (5" tall) captures all the majesty of the
famed exotic Clouded Leopard. Robin's artistic
talents and hand painting skills are well
displayed in the unique patterns of coloration and
the meticulous attention to details. Just look at
those wonderful amber eyes! This hand painted
figurine is Opal Satin glass, and it is
identified, dated and signed on the underside:
"Fenton 2017 Clouded Leopard J. K. Spindler OOAK".
These auctions will end on Wednesday, March 28, 2018. |
