The shape of our 11” Opal Satin Vase provides an excellent
glass canvas for Michelle Kibbe’s rendition of a pair of
Rose-breasted Grosbeaks. The true-to-life details include
the distinctive and vibrant rose-red mark on the chest of
the male bird. Michelle created a soft background with
brown tones for her scene of the Rose-breasted Grobeak
pair perched on flowering branches. The colorful flowers
complement her hand painted birds. Michelle also added
delicate banding around the top of the vase.
Each Rose-breasted Grosbeaks Vase is
$180.

Barley applied her wonderful whimsical touch to our 5.75”

the two eyes! Each Spooky
Ghost Figurine is $115.

The impressive size of this 11.5” Opal
Satin Vase is perfect for Robin Spindler’s marvelous scene
featuring a White Tiger mother with her two cubs.
The hand painted details are meticulously
executed and true-to-life. The White Tiger mother closely
observes one of her cubs from amidst dense and colorful
foliage. Another cub climbs over a fallen tree branch.
Note the bold colors of the black, gray, and white stripes
of the tigers.
Robin has captured the sapphire blue of the
cubs' eyes. Combined with their striped coat, those eyes
make these White Tiger cubs very attractive!
Did you know. . . White Tigers can run quite fast –
around 60 miles per hour and they can live as long as 20
years! Each White Tigers
Vase is $220.

This smiling, petite 2.75” Eggplant Mouse
Figurine is ablaze in color. . . from the brilliant blue
morning glory flowers and petite pink flower clusters to
the ruby-throated hummingbird hovering on one ear.
Kim Barley added a pink heart-shaped nose,
white whiskers and large blue eyes to complete her lovely
design on this figurine. Each Morning Glory
Mouse Figurine is $80.

Kim Barley continues her whimsical
Halloween-themed designs with her "Jackie-O-Lantern"
Bridesmaid Doll. Handcrafted in Robin's Egg Blue, this 7"
figurine has green-hued skin and she is adorned in a lovely
blue dress, complete with ruffles edged in black. This
Bridesmaid Doll figurine has a golden headband with purple
star and a necklace. Several pumpkins adorn this figurine,
each with a toothy grin. The figurine is also holding a large,
smiling carved pumpkin. Kim painted a seasonal Halloween scene
of a scraggly black cat, flying purple bat, moon and stars,
and a haunted house on the skirt. Each Jackie-O-Lantern
Bridesmaid Doll
Figurine is $90 and limited to 11.
Handcrafted in crystal glass by Mosser, this 7"
Iceberg Paperweight has a unique, three-dimensional look with
Robin Spindler's reverse painting technique. A male
ruby-throated hummingbird hovers near a brightly colored
flower. Several other flowers and leaves provide a frame
around the scene. Robin painted some of the colorful flowers
on the back of the paperweight, then covered that part of her
design with white paint. She then added the hummingbird and
other flowers to the front of the iceberg for beautiful
results! The
iridescent colors
in hummingbirds
are often sparkly, like gemstones. So we decided to call
Robin's design "Little Gem." Each
Little Gem Iceberg Paperweight is $110.
Pre-orders for the White
Tigers Vase,
Morning Glory Mouse Figurine,
Jackie-O-Lantern Bridesmaid Doll Figurine,
and Little Gem
Iceberg Paperweight

With Lotus Mist Burmese glass as
her canvas, Fenton artist Michelle Kibbe designed
and hand painted this splendid one-of-a-kind
pitcher (8.25" tall) in Lotus Mist Burmese glass.
The graceful pink/white floral motif and lush
green leaves and foliage completely encircle the
pitcher, and Michelle's depiction of the gray
Tufted Titmouse bird is remarkably true to life.
We can almost hear its distinctive high-pitched,
whistling call ..."peter, peter, peter!" Lotus
Mist Burmese is a "classic" Fenton Art Glass
color, and only a few glass factories worldwide
have ever created a similar hue. |
Note the distinctive crimp style, a
real tribute to the skills of glassworkers at Fenton
art Glass. This one-of-a-kind hand painted Lotus Mist
Burmese pitcher is identified, signed and dated on the
underside: "hand painted by M. Kibbe 2019 OOAK".
Fenton artist Kim Barley has designed
and hand painted many different Fenton Art Glass cat
figurines over the years, but we think this
one-of-a-kind hand painted cat figurine is one of her
most interesting. This cat (3.25" tall) is the finest
satin-finished Fenton Milk Glass, and the varied
colors of the hand painted floral motif and the green
leaves stand in wonderful contrast to the glass
itself. Don't miss those honeybees searching for
nectar! This one-of-a-kind hand painted Milk Glass cat
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, September 7. |
