The elegant shape and 11" size of this Opal
Satin Vase provides the glass canvas for Michelle Kibbe's
lovely floral design, including blooming roses in hues of
purple, blue, white, and pale pink. Michelle created a
soft pink-lavender background and added smaller clusters
of flowers which encircle the vase. Delicate vertical
white striping, along with thin color bands encircle the
top section of the vase to create the beautiful look. .
. the perfect vase to display in your home with or
without a flower arrangement! Each Pretty Roses
Vase is $190 and is limited to just six vases.
Michelle Kibbe created this marvelous
Halloween scene on our 5.75" Ruby Satin Ghost Figurine. A
witch on her broom, with her cape flowing out behind her,
flies in front of a full moon. Bat companions follow
closely behind the witch. The base of this figurine
features a whimsical haunted house, headstones and a fence
with pumpkins on the vine. Place a tea light underneath to
create an eerie glow for Halloween! Michelle added headstones on
the back, including one with a "RIP" inscription. Each
Night Flight Ghost Figurine is $115.
Sculptor Jon Saffell designed the (5065)
Cat figurine, known as the Stylized Cat, in 1999, much to
the delight of cat fanciers! This Jade Satin Stylized Cat
Figurine (5") is sure to become a favorite! Kim Barley
created this beautiful floral design of stylized flowers,
including a large Lily in vibrant golden-orange hues. She
added a sprig of petite purple blooms on top of the head
around the bluish-lavender ears. Kim also added this soft
shading around the base of the figurine. A bumblebee
hovers near the largest lily. Note the expression with
these emerald green eyes and orange nose! Each Lily
Bee Stylized Cat Figurine is $95 and is limited to 14.

Robin Spindler transformed this 11" Eggplant
Satin (NEW Color!) Alley Cat Figurine into a "Scottish
Wildcat". The Scottish Wildcat resembles a domestic Tabby Cat.
Robin created the look of a thick coat with dark, wide
striping on the tail and body. Note the Alley Cat's
characteristic grin and expressive eyes! Did you know. . .
The elusive Scottish Wildcat is found in the Scottish
highlands. They are cunning hunters with a bigger brain and
more powerful jaws than domestic cats.
Among the most collectible items in Fenton
history, the Alley Cat figurine has also been one of Fenton's
most popular items since its debut in 1970. The mould
originated at the U.S. Glass Co. in Tiffin, Ohio during the
1920s and was purchased by Fenton Art Glass in the mid-1960s.
Since that time, this Alley Cat has been made in a rainbow of
colors and decorative treatments. Each Scottish Wildcat
Alley Cat Figurine is $195.
Robin Spindler's hand painted design on 3.25"
long Opal Satin Figurine resembles a "Common Toad".
Note the mottled dark brown to sandy coloring of
the body. Robin's design depicts the broad, squat body and
warty skin of this amphibian. Note the orange-red eyes with
the black slits! Did you know. . . Common toads are
widespread, especially in mainland Britain. They also tend to
walk rather than hop. Each Common Toad Figurine is
$75.

Collectors have enjoyed the charm of Fenton
fairy lights for more than half a century. The flickering
flame from a small candle inside a Fenton Fairy Light always
seems to warm an entire room. This 5" Opal Fairy Light is sure
to please cat enthusiasts!
Kim Barley created a unique design featuring a
large orange tabby kitten peering out of the darkness. Kim
added white stars and paw prints and golden curly-que accents
on the shade. She sprayed the Opal Satin base in a light lime
green color. Front and back views are shown in the photo. This
5" Fairy Light is also great to display during the Halloween
season!
Each Orange Tabby Kitten Fairy Light
is $95 and includes a battery-operated tea light. |
Our popular 7" Bridesmaid Doll Figurine,
handcrafted in Blue Satin glass, is adorned in a dress
featuring stylized flowers in hues of blue, purple and
white. A cute, wide-eyed white kitten gazes sweetly on
the front of the dress. Designed by Michelle Kibbe,
this design includes a sash and bow in a cross-hatch
design. The bouquet flowers complement the blue-toned
blossoms on the dress. Michelle added a petite
flower spray at the neckline and above the sash. Each
White Kitty Bridesmaid Doll Figurine is $95.
Pre-orders for the Scottish
Wildcat Alley Cat, Common Toad Figurine,
Orange Tabby Kitten Fairy Light, and White
Kitty Bridesmaid Doll Figurine will be accepted
until midnight (ET) on Wednesday, June 12, 2019.

Fenton Art Glass
eBay Auctions. . .
Here's your opportunity to own a beautiful
"one-of-a-kind" art glass creation or items from
Fenton's past through our weekly eBay auctions. Fenton's
eBay auctions will end at 2 p.m. (ET) on Wednesday, June 12.
Items featured this week. . .
Here's a beautiful one-of-a-kind hand painted
basket (6.5" tall) from Fenton artist Michelle Kibbe. The
opaque light
blue glass (Sky Blue) is satin finished, providing the perfect
canvas for Michelle's elaborate, intricate hand painted
work. You'll like the stylized butterflies, hand painted in
turquoise and brown tones, and the hand painted scrollwork
inside the basket and around the base is simply amazing! Note
the twisted rib handle. The handler's mark is that of Jon
Anderson, a skilled glassworker whose handler's mark was one
of the last still in use when Fenton announced its closure in
2007. This basket has the Fenton script F logo as well as the
lettering "USA". This one-of-a-kind hand painted basket is
identified, signed and dated on the underside: "hand painted
by M. Kibbe 2019 OOAK".
Award-winning Fenton designer Robin Spindler created and hand
painted this splendid one-of-a-kind iceberg paperweight.
You'll love the realistic foliage and the vivid Goldfish from
any angle of view, as they are remarkably
lifelike on crystal glass. All the hand painted details are
meticulously executed, and the results are simply amazing!
This paperweight has a three-dimensional effect with the blue
waves of the water and the goldfish in the background and
foreground. Check out the hand lettered sign that reads:
Fenton Gift Shop! This one-of-a-kind hand painted crystal
iceberg paperweight (7” tall by 5.5” wide) is identified,
signed and dated on the underside: "Fenton 2019 hand painted
by J. K. Spindler OOAK".
For many years at Fenton Art Glass, these were the "keys to
the kingdom," namely, the office of Frank M. Fenton
and the doors to the extensive secure Fenton Museum storage
areas that housed hundreds of items of Fenton
glass. The key to Frank's office is marked "FAGCO" and the key
to the storage areas is marked "SM". We've added
a keychain with a Dave Fetty pendant (1.5" diameter) that is
marked with Dave's personal stamp. It is also signed
by Dave. There won't be any other key sets like this one! These Fenton's eBay auctions will end at
2 p.m. (ET) on Wednesday, June 12.
