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

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. |

Satn Witch Figurine has a big grin on her face. . . her

treats! Designed by Kim Barley, this colorful figurine

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".

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

Reminiscent of the classic "Blue Ridge" line
created by Fenton Art Glass in the late 1930s,
this one-of-a-kind hand painted perfume bottle by
Fenton artist Michelle Kibbe is simply stunning!
The satin-finished French Opalescent glass with
swirl optic stripes is the perfect background for
Michelle's stylized floral motif, hand painted in
vivid blue ... a great complement to the applied
blue glass topmost edge. Note the attractive green
foliage and the crosshatch decoration, too! The
stopper was carefully airbrushed to match the
bottle, and this piece stands 5.5" tall overall.
This one-of-a-kind hand perfume bottle is dated
and signed on the underside: "hand painted by M.
Kibbe 2019 OOAK". |

Award-winning Fenton designer Robin
Spindler created this one-of-a-kind sandcarved Star
paperweight (5" diameter) using special masking to
depict the iconic "Clarence" glassworker figure that
was first associated with Fenton in the 1950s. She
also sandcarved the Fenton "script F" logo and added a
sprinkling of stars (Fenton fans all realize that
Clarence is quite a star himself!). Added gold paint
really makes Clarence shine amongst those stars! This
paperweight comes in an attractive presentation box
lined with soft blue cloth.This one-of-a-kind
sandcarved/goldfilled Star paperweight is dated and
signed: "J. K. Spindler OOAK 2019 ".
