The elegant shape of this 10” Opal Satin Vase suits Michelle Kibbe’s hand painted design featuring honey bees and stylized flowers.

 

Michelle painted delicate brown bands that encircle the vase.

She added a golden honeycomb pattern that complements the cluster of flowers in hues of white, gold and lavender. Leaves in various shades of green frame the flowers. Five honeybees hover around the flower blossoms. Each Honeybees Floral Vase is $185.

 

Below: Our 8" Opal Satin Chessie Cat Covered Box features a lovely hand painted "Dragonflies & Roses" design by Michelle Kibbe. The popular "Chessie" cat character was used as a symbol of the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway. They used this artwork with their advertising slogan that when traveling on their railway you would "sleep like a kitten". Fenton created this item especially for the Chesapeake & Ohio railway company. In addition to the artist's signature, the base of this box is embossed with the words "Chessie by Fenton".


Michelle's design has petite rosebuds and delicate gossamer winged dragonflies. The sleepy white Chessie Cat has beautiful green eyes. It is snuggled in a darker rose-colored blanket.

 

The Chessie Box and lid have been airbrushed in a soft darker pink color. Michelle adorned the lid with rose blossoms entwined in white ribbon and dotted accents. She painted two lavender dragonflies on the lid with another dragonfly hovering just beside the sleepy cat.

Each Dragonflies & Roses Chessie Cat Covered Box is $140.

The rich Cobalt Blue color of this 5.5" round glass Paperweight is the perfect canvas for Kim Barley's latest Halloween-themed design!
A large white spiderweb is in the background surrounded by several stars. A smiling skeleton poses in the foreground. A purple spider covered in while polka dots dangles from the web. A large pumpkin appears to be laughing with glee!

Kim hand lettered "31 OCTOBER" on another pumpkin. A black cat peeks over the top.
Each Spiderweb Skeleton Paperweight is $110.

Above: Fenton Gift Shop is pleased to bring back a popular figurine to our product line, the Fox Figurine. This figurine was first introduced to the Fenton Art Glass line in the mid-1980s. Handcrafted in Opal Satin, this 4.5" tall figurine sports a Fly Agaric mushroom design by Robin Spindler. She painted two of these colorful mushrooms. Robin hand painted this figurine in natural Red Fox details, including the dark ears and white-tipped furry tail. Each Fly Agaric Mushroom Fox Figurine is $80.

 

Did you know. . .  A poisonous mushroom often found in pastures and fields during summer, the "fly agaric" is a hallucinogenic and was once used as a fly poison. These mushrooms have also been associated with interesting European and Asian folktales, including one about a side effect of rosy, red cheeks and a feeling of flying in a spiritual sleigh pulled by reindeer or horses. Hmmm... that's very interesting!

 

Left: Robin Spindler continues her Red Fox and Fly Agaric Mushroom design theme on this 8.75" Opal Satin Vase. She created a heartwarming and beautiful seasonal scene  of a pair of foxes surrounded by falling leaves.

A Vixen (female fox) snuggles against her mate, the Tod (male fox). A few Fly Agaric mushrooms are nearby and appear ready to be harvested. The hand painted details are meticulously executed and a tribute to Robin's talent. She added a decorative pattern accent around the top in gold. The background is of the forest with leaves in seasonal hues of orange and gold and sunlight streaming through the branches. Different views of this vase are shown below, including close-ups of the fox pair and mushrooms and the details on the top rim of the vase. Each Red Fox Pair Vase is $175.

 

Kim Barley's whimsical side is truly out in full force with her latest Halloween design! Our 6.5" Opal Satn Witch Figurine has a big grin on her face. . . her cat trick or treat bag is ready to be filled with lots of treats! Designed by Kim Barley, this colorful figurine will make a great addition to your Halloween decor!

 

A variety of stars in a rainbow of colors adorn the hat, with vibrant rings of color at the end of the hat. Kim gave this witch a green nose, rosy cheeks, bright purple eyes edged in black, and the ever present "wart" on the chin! This witch is wearing a necklace with a beautiful gemstone (applied accent stone)  . . . which resembles a moonstone, so we named her "Moonstone".

 

The witch's dress is hand painted in bright golden orange and purple with shades of black. A green owl is perched on a branch in front of a stylized moon and stars. The skirt has black polka dots and a spider dangling from the tied apron. This witch is selling rides on her broomstick for 25 cents each! Cute pumpklnis and black bats complete this look for a sure to be Halloween favorite!

Each Moonstone Witch Figurine is $115.

 

This 4" long Opal SatinTurtle Figurine is hand painted in soft green and aqua tones. Michelle Kibbe designed a unique and appealing pattern for the shell, which includes attractive aqua swirls with white polka dot accents. Note the expression on the turtle's face. Each Aqua Swirls Turtle Figurine is $75.
