NEW Limited Editions from Fenton Gift Shop. . .
We are pleased to offer these Fenton Gift Shop 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 Hunter Green (5.5"diameter) Round Paperweight was made by Mosser Glass. The other
Limited Editions were made by Mosser, using the Fenton moulds, for the Fenton Gift Shop.
RETURN POLICY: Returns are accepted on "undamaged"
items. Returns are to be shipped within 30 days of receipt, at
customer expense, to the Fenton Gift Shop, 2242 Williams Hwy.,
Suite 108, Williamstown, WV 26187. A 5% restocking fee will be
applied for this return. For damaged items, please contact
Fenton Gift Shop at 800-319-7793, ext. 342.
We're pleased to continue offering the
"Butter Box" in a new color for us, Black Raspberry.
Michelle Kibbe's hand painted catfish design encircles the
lid and box. Her true-to-life depiction of this fish
includes remarkable details, including their
characteristic whiskers! Did you know. . . Catfish
are named after our furry felines because they share a
distinguishing feature: whiskers! The long, whiskery
projections on a catfish are technically called "barbels".
These sensory organs allow catfish to smell and taste,
enabling them to hunt in dark and murky waters.
The 4.5" x 4.5" size is perfect to use as a
treasure box to store precious keepsakes or as a candy
box. . . or think "outside the box" and come up with your
own use for this beautiful Limited Edition set! Also a
great keepsake gift for the fisherman or woman in your
life! This Black Raspberry Covered Box is satin finished
on the outside and has a glossy interior. Each Catfish
Delight Covered Box is $95.
Now is the perfect time to pre-order this
Limited Edition Santa with list for your seasonal decorating!
The Santa figurines designed by sculptor Jon Saffell in
the 1990s quickly became very popular Fenton collectibles
as well as holiday gifts. This 8"
Opal Satin figurine features a fun "Snowflakes and
Snowmen" design by Michelle Kibbe. She created a trio of snowmen
on Santa's fur-trimmed coat. They are trying to
capture the glistening snowflakes that are falling from a wintry night
sky. Each snowman has bright red buttons (note the
heart-shaped ones!), a colorful scarf and mittens. A black
top hat with a red and white striped band adorns the head
of one snowman. Santa holds his "naughty or nice" list,
which has a blue and white checkered pattern. He also has
a firm grip on a brilliant red bag that is stuffed full
of goodies. Each
Snowflakes & Snowmen Santa w/List Figurine is $125.

Since their debut in the year 2000, the Fenton snow people
figurines have delighted collectors and continued to add
seasonal cheer to many homes. Designed by Fenton sculptor
Jon Saffell, our 4.25" Snowman and 4" Snowlady figurines
have been in a grouping called "Frosty Friends" for
several years.
Kim Barley adds her whimsical touch and
fondness for the Halloween season with her "Burt & Bea
Boo" design on this Opal Satin Snowcouple. A large orange
pumpkin with a toothy grin and a star-shaped eye adorns
the bottom half of each figurine. Kim added a colorful
triangular banner with handlettered "BOO" at the waist.
Each figurine has been hand painted in a green jacket with
purple trim, as well as a coordinating hat with star accents, black
scarf with yellow polka dots and black mittens. Those
happy expressions are sure to
bring a smile! The Burt & Bea Boo Snowcouple Figurine
Pair is $140. |

The rich green color of this 5.5" diameter
Hunter Green Paperweight provides an excellent glass canvas
for Robin Spindler's beautiful scene of a
Ruby-throated Hummingbird seeking nectar from vibrant
orange-red blossoms. The hand painted details are meticulously executed. A beautiful piece to display all year long. Each
Ruby-throated Hummingbird Paperweight is $110.
A collector favorite, the Fenton Art Glass
"5140 Egg on Stand" was produced in many colors and
patterns during the 1970s and 80s. Fenton began their
"Collectible Eggs" series in 1991. This Egg on Stand
features the base that was redesigned by Fenton sculptor
Jon Saffell. This 3.75" Opal Satin Egg on Stand features a
lovely hand painted Ruby-throated Hummingbird and sylized
hibiscus flowers in lush pink with petite purple flower
accents designed by Michelle Kibbe. She
added a soft cream background with pink crosshatch pattern on the base as well as a
delicate pink band around the design. Each Hibiscus
Hummingbird Egg on Stand Figurine is $75.
Kim Barley continues her inspirational
message design on this 3.5" Sitting Bear Figurine. The
Believe, Faith and Hope versions
were offered in previous newsletters. Kim transformed
this Opal Satin figurine into a small gray bear. A
bumble bee buzzes on top of its head. Kim added
details on the paws as well as green leaves. A brown
log on one leg is hand lettered with the word "LOVE".
Note the highlights around the eyes and that adorable
expression! Each Love
Message Bear Figurine is $75.

Robin Spindler channeled another era to create
this unique "tie dye" look for our 4.25" long Opal Satin
Dinosaur Figurine. Robin painted the figurine and then
airbrushed it overall. The result is an amazing blend of
multi-colored brushstrokes
producing a variegated
pattern for a
"tie-dye" design.
You'll see shades of blue, red, yellow, orange, and green in
this Dinosaur!
We named this Limited Edition "Tie-Dye Dino"
and we're sure this figurine will appeal to the young as well
as the young-at-heart! Note the Dinosaur's friendly grin. Each Tie-Dye Dino
Figurine is $80.
Pre-orders for the
Ruby-throated Hummingbird
Paperweight, Hibiscus Hummingbird Egg on Stand, Love
Message Bear and Tie-Dye Dino Figurines
will be accepted until midnight (ET) on Wednesday, August
21, 2019.

Animal figurines on the
fount as pressed are very popular with
Fenton collectors, and Fenton artist Kim
Barley has really sounded "toot toot
toot!" with this one-of-a-kind hand
painted Sitting Bear figurine on fount
(6.5" tall overall) in Opal Satin glass.
This happy fellow is dressed in
traditional blue railroad garb as the
Engineer Bear, and Kim has added lots of
interesting hand painted details: railroad
signs, tracks around the fount, etc. Don't
miss those wonderfully expressive eyes!
This figurine is signed and dated on the

The sight of a male Scarlet
Tanager bird is something one never forgets,
and award winning Fenton designer Robin
Spindler has used her artistic talents and
hand painting skills to create this splendid
one-of-a-kind pair of figurines. These are
Opal Satin glass, and each measures 3.75" long
and stands 3" tall. The hand painted colors
are remarkably true to life, as Robin's
meticulous hand painting captures the vivid
red and bits of yellow of the male Scarlet
Tanager as well as the subdued green tones of
the female Scarlet Tanager. These
one-of-a-kind Scarlet Tanager figurines are
identified, signed and dated on the
undersides.
These Fenton's eBay auctions will end on
Wednesday, August 21. |
