You may recall childhood memories of
playing on handmade swings when you view the hand painted
scene on this impressive 11.25" Opal Satin Vase. It's sure
to bring a smile to your face.
Michelle Kibbe's hand painted design
features a young girl swinging on a handmade swing.
From her expression, you can tell she's
having a grand time! The details on the face are adorable,
especially those big blue eyes! Michelle added blue jeans,
white top with stars and a golden yellow jacket. Red
ribbons adorn her hair, which is tied in pony tails.
Michelle provides a natural frame with the
hanging branches of a tree above and spring flowers
encirclirg the base. Michelle added pinstripe accents in

Our 5" Opal Satin Stylized Cat with golden brown eyes has been
transformed into a pond scene by Michelle Kibbe. Her scene
includes cattails, green and rusty red colored leaves and
three frogs, two of which appear to be attempting to make their way up a branch. . . perhaps to
get closer to that cattail! Each Cattails & Frogs
Stylized Cat Figurine is $95.
Kim Barley loves Halloween and continues
her fun, whimsical design style on this 6.25" Opal Satin
Witch Figurine.
You'll love all the details. . . from the
"starry night sky" and the black cat with a crescent moon
accent on its collar. . . to the spooky house, flying
purple bats and two grinning pumpkins. Note the details on
the face and dress! This witch wears an eye mask and holds
a smiling pumpkin design treat bag!
Kim added a bubbling cauldron necklace and
star tattoo on the witch's face. A golden star adorns the
hatband and fiery red-blonde hair cascades down the back.

Robin Spindler's love of horses is evident in
her hand painted portrayal of playful foals on our 11"
Eggplant Alley Cat Figurine. She calls her design "Frolicking
Foals". You'll enjoy this figurine no matter which side is
displayed! Robin's artistic skills shine as you can see how
she used shape of the Alley Cat to create the design. The tail
area has been transformed into a foal lying on the ground. Two
more foals meet head to head on the back side of this
figurine. Their "hind quarters" are painted on the cat's legs.
Robin added colorful flowers and a brown pasture field fence
that encircle the base of the figurine. As always, you'll love
that ornery grin and those expressive eyes!
The Alley Cat is among the most collectible
items in Fenton history. This whimsical figurine has also been
one of Fenton's most popular items since it was first made in
1970. Fenton collectors just can't seem to get enough of the
Alley Cat's characteristic grin! The mould for this piece
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 Frolicking Foals Alley Cat
Figurine is $190.

Kim Barley's hand painted design on our 5.5"
Opal Satin Owl Figurine celebrates the approaching Halloween
season in style!
Kim created a festive and fun motif that
includes polka dots, a golden moon with white stars, black
cats and a grinning pumpkin, falling leaves, and eerie eyes
peering out from the base.
Note those mesmerizing eyes and the leg stripes
and talons! Kim hand lettered the word "BOO" in orange-gold
across the front of the chest. Each Boo Owl
Figurine is $95.

This 4.5" x 4" Opal Satin Iceberg
Paperweight provides an excellent glass canvas for
Michelle Kibbe's heartwarming scene of a doe gazing
upon a tiny blue bird perched on a pine branch. The
doe looks so realistic. . . a tribute to Michelle's
artistic talent. A beautiful piece to display all year
long! Each Darling Doe Iceberg Paperweight is $80.
The first Fenton Tree (5535) was offered in the 1992
Christmas catalog supplement. The 6.5" tree was created by
designer Cathy See. This size tree was initally offered in
ruby, green with iced branches or iridized crystal, each
accented with a tiny gold bird on one of the branches.
Two smaller trees were added a year later and quickly
became decorating favorites with Fenton collectors.
Kim Barley created a lovelyS seasonal scene of
large white roses against a snowy background on our 6.5"

red-orange berries as accents on the snow-covered branches. Each White Roses Tree

Fenton Art Glass eBay Auctions. .
.
Here's your opportunity to own a beautiful
"one-of-a-kind" Fenton Art Glass creation or items
from Fenton's history through our weekly
Fenton Art Glass eBay auctions. These Fenton's eBay
auctions will end on Wednesday, August 14th.
Items
featured this week. . .
Here's a spectacular
one-of-a-kind hand painted Alley Cat (11"
tall) from Fenton artist Michelle Kibbe.
This Alley Cat is satin-finished ruby
glass, and the rich ruby color contrasts
perfectly with Michelle's hand painted
design featuring her depiction of the rare
White Peacock. The White Peacock's tail
features are breathtaking to see, as
Michelle has adapted her hand painting
artistry to the features of the Alley Cat
itself.
The Alley Cat is one of the
most beloved items ever associated with
Fenton Art Glass, which acquired this
mould from the U. S. Glass Co. in the
1960s. This one-of-a-kind satin finished
hand painted Ruby Alley Cat is identified,
signed and dated inside: "OOAK 2019 hand
painted by M. Kibbe". |

This
5.5" diameter circular crystal one-of-a-kind
paperweight stands tall, and award-winning
designer Robin Spindler's innovative creation
will make you stand up and take notice! She
combined hand painting, reverse hand painting,
and intricate sandcarving to create this
dramatic three-dimensional visual effect
(these photos are really great, but "in
person" is simply spectacular!). We can almost
hear the Seagulls calls and feel the spray
from the waves! This one-of-a-kind hand
painted and sandcarved paperweight is identified,
signed and dated on the underside: "Fenton
2019 OOAK J. K. Spindler".
These Fenton's eBay auctions will end on
Wednesday, August 14th. |
