The impressive 11.75" size of this Opal Satin
Vase provides an excellent glass canvas for Robin Spindler's hand painted "Margay Kittens" design.
Large raspberry-pink flowers and lush
greenery in the background of this vase frame Robin's
fabulous hand painted scene of the Margay Kittens
observing a butterfly.
The colorful details are meticulous. . .
from the faces of the kittens to the raspberry and white wings of
the butterfly. Note the gemstone accents on the
butterfly's wings.
Did you know. . . Margays resemble
the Ocelot, with tawny fur, though the Margay is smaller in size
with longer legs and tail. Each Margay Kittens Vase is
$220.

Robin Spindler continues her Margay Kittens
design on our 5" Opal Satin Stylized Cat. The distinctive
pattern of this small feline includes dark and light brown
markings. The Margay is sometimes called the Tree Ocelot
because of its agility in trees and the ability to climb
head-first down trees. Each Margay
Stylized Cat Figurine is $100.
The Owl Figurine was introduced in the
Fenton line in 2004 as part of the Halloween grouping.
Since then, our talented designers have created
interesting designs that are perfect to display all
year long!
Our 5.5" Eggplant Satin Owl Figurine
has beautiful large, round eyes hand painted in shades
of green and blue. Kim Barley added a purple beak and
talons for a unique look on this figurine. The
backside has shiny gold details on the wings and tiny
flower bloom accents. Kim added purple and black
accent lines on the top of the head.
The main feature on this attractive
figurine is the large cluster of lovely lilacs on the
front. A beautiful butterfly hovers nearby. A leafy
branch curves along the base in the front. Each Butterfly 'n Lilacs
Owl Figurine is $95.

This 3.25" long Opal Satin Frog
Figurine features a smiling "Tomato Frog" design by Michelle Kibbe.
Michelle enjoys discovering unique
animals and amphibians to use for her design subjects.
We think she found an interesting one! Aptly named for their striking coloration, the male
Tomato Frog is a yellow-orange color, while the female
is bright red-orange. Some may have a pattern of black
spots on the back and sides. As you can see, Michelle
chose to paint the female. This stylized Tomato Frog"
Figurine will
certainly start a conversation when on display in your
home or make a unique gift for a figurine
collector. Did you
know. . . These frogs release a toxic
secretion through their skin and will "puff up" to
deter predators. Each Stylized Tomato Frog
Figurine is $75.
Pre-orders for the Margay Kittens
Vase, Margay Stylized Cat Figurine, Butterfly 'n
Lilacs Owl Figurine, and the Stylized Tomato

Fenton Art Glass
eBay Auctions. . .
Here's your opportunity to own a beautiful
"one-of-a-kind" Fenton Art Glass creation through our weekly
Fenton Art Glass eBay auctions. These Fenton's eBay auctions
will end at 2 p.m. (ET) on Wednesday, July 3rd.
Items featured this week. . .
The amphora vase is a classic shape in glass
that dates back more than 2000 years in the history of
glassmaking. Fenton designer Robin Spindler added splendid
hand painting to this one-of-a-kind example from Fenton Art
Glass to take her place in glass decorating lore! This stately
amphora vase is 13" tall (14.75" overall when in the brass
stand). The vase is cased glass, with green glass inside and
satin finished milk glass on the exterior. Robin's creation
features a pair of Cardinals perched closely together within
leafy beaches and tiny red berries. The satin finished glass
and Robin's delicate airbrushing combined create a wonderfully
misty quality to the overall look. This amphora vase has a
hole drilled in its underside, so Robin used a gold Sacagawea
coin to cover this area. This one-of-a-kind hand painted
amphora vase is identified, signed and dated amidst the leaves
on the exterior: "J. K. Spindler Fenton 2019 OOAK". |
This charming one-of-a-kind hand painted kitten
(3.25" long) figurine in satin finished black glass will
delight everyone who loves Halloween. Fenton artist Kim Barley
has created her usual whimsical touches, from those "vampire"
teeth and that grinning pumpkin to the colorful stripes on the
tail of the kitten! Those white toes and the facial expression
add to the appeal of this item. This one-of-a-kind hand
painted kitten figurine is identified, signed and dated on the
underside: "Kim Barley 2019 OOAK".
These Fenton's eBay auctions will end at 2 p.m. (ET) on
Wednesday, July 3rd.
