Celebrate Autumn with NEW Fenton Gift Shop Limited
Editions!
Our talented team of artists has created some
wonderful new designs, now available for pre-order. Each
Limited Edition will be

The blown ornament was made by West Virginia glass artisan,
Ron Hinkle. 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

Fenton Gift Shop at 800-319-7793, ext. 342.
We're pleased to offer another new design
for one of our latest shapes. . . the Pumpkinhead
Figurine. The mould for this figurine was designed by
former Fenton Art Glass sculptor Suzi Whitaker. "Pumpkinhead"
joined Fenton's cast of colorful Halloween characters in
2007. Michelle Kibbe's hand painted design is delightful
and will look great displayed all season! The design for
this 6" Opal Satin figurine includes a trio of brown mice
enjoying their candy treats. One mouse looks out of a
bright orange pumpkin being held by the "white"
pumpkinhead figure. Two mouse companions appear ready to
sample their own treats! A trick or treat basket adorned
with a bat motif is on the back of this figurine. Michelle
has dressed this figurine in a shirt with a polka dot
collar and black and white checkered sleeves. She created
a delightful expression on the face with blue eyes, a wide
smile and curling vines and leaves atop the head. Did
you know. . . Pumpkins, also known as winter squash,
come in many colors. There are several "white" varieties
of pumpkins, including the Lumina, which average about 10
inches in diameter.
Each Lumina Pumpkinhead Figurine is $115.
Our adorable 2.75" Ruby Mouse Figurine has been
transformed into a tiny Santa Mouse by Michelle Kibbe. This
figurine is warmly dressed in a white fur-trimmed jacket with
matching cap and red and white striped shoes. A grinning red-nosed reindeer
companion appears to be flying through the ears of the mouse!
Michelle added snowflake accents, including
one on the tip of the mouse's red nose! This Rudy 'n Santa
is a great gift for figurine collectors as well as
for the young and the young-at-heart!
Each Rudy 'n Santa Mouse Figurine is $80. |

Perfect size for your seasonal decorating! This
hand painted 9.75" Opal Satin Vase, has a design by Michelle
Kibbe, which includes a heartwarming scene of a snowman
smiling down at a feathered friend, the Cardinal. The snowman
sports a green scarf and black top hat with red band.
A winter landscape and a birdhouse on a post
is on the back side of the vase. Note the heart-shaped
entrance. Michelle added holly leaves, berries and a colorful
red, white and green ribbon decoration that encircles the
vase.
Each Snow Buddies Vase
is $150.
Pre-orders for the
Lumina Pumpkinhead Figurine,
Rudy 'n Santa Mouse Figurine

Robin Spindler continues her popular
theme of animal kingdom families on our 11.25" Opal Satin
Vase. The impressive size of this vase provides an excellent
glass canvas for Robin's hand painted design of a Giraffe
family.
Lush flowers
in soft shades of pink and purple cover the entire vase
with the giraffe trio framed within the greenery. Robin's
tenderhearted scene is sure to please collectors.
Each Giraffe Family Trio Vase is $215. |

Here are some additional views of this beautiful vase.
Did you
know. . .
Female giraffes are known as cows, the
males are called bulls and the young are called
calves. Giraffes spend most of the day eating.
A full-grown
giraffe can consume more than 100 pounds of leaves and twigs a
day. |
Kim Barley used warm seasonal colors for her
lovely hand painted design on our 5.75" Opal Satin Owl
figurine. The wings have been painted in a soft turquoise hue
with golden accents. The gray and blue rock perch includes
petite white flowers. Bold stripes in burnished brown are
highlighted across the front legs. A really unique aspect of
Kim's design is the way she created those large, mesmerizing
eyes using white flower petals! She added a black dotted line
as a frame around the eyes with a touch of greenery atop the
head. Each Petals Owl Figurine is $95.
The focal point of holiday decorating is the
Christmas Tree. Collect and enjoy our new 6.5" Opal Satin
Limited Edition "Let It Snow" Tree for your seasonal
celebrations. Designed by Kim Barley, this hand painted design
features a grinning snowman holding a red heart ornament. The
snowman wears a green and white scarf adorned with a golden
star and blue ear muffs. Kim added the traditional carrot nose
with small twigs as arms. A stack of snowballs are at the side,
perhaps in anticipation for an upcoming snowball fight? A
black cat observes the scene. The tree is painted in green
tones with snow-covered branches. Kim hand lettered "Let It
Snow" in blue with snow and star accents. The first Fenton
Tree (5535) was offered in the 1992 Christmas catalog
supplement. The 6.5" tree was created by designer Cathy See
and was initially 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.
Mix and match with other Fenton trees for an attractive
holiday display. Each Let It Snow Tree
Figurine is $80.
Fenton Gift Shop is proud to once again
offer beautiful hand blown glass ornaments. These
ornaments are handcrafted by Ron Hinkle, a glass
artisan from Buckhannon, West Virginia. Ron uses his
glassmaking skills to create the classic Christmas
tree ball shape, finished with a delicate loop of
applied glass. This ornament was made with different
shades of white frit and sprayed with Ron’s “magic”
iridescent spray. Each ornament will feature a Limited
Edition design by one of our talented artists.
Michelle Kibbe created a cute and
whimsical design for this iridized
hand blown (approx. 3-1/2" diameter) ornament. The hand painted
wintry landscape scene features a gray mouse pulling a
wooden sleigh, upon which rests a marvelous gift of
cheese! The mouse is all decked out for snowy weather
in a bright red scarf and matching cap with fur trim.
Michelle added delicate bands and holly sprigs around
the top and bottom areas that frame her design. Each
ornament will be signed and dated 2019. We believe
this ornament will become a seasonal favorite.
Make your ornament even more festive by
using the
ribbon, included with each
ornament, for hanging. Each
Mousie's Gift Blown Ornament is $65 and includes
a ribbon (not shown).
Pre-orders for the
Giraffe Family Trio
Vase, Petals Owl Figurine, Let It Snow
Tree Figurine and the Mousie's Gift Blown Ornament will be accepted
until midnight (ET) on Wednesday, September 25, 2019.

Items
featured this week. . .
Award-winning Fenton designer Kim Barley's
one-of-a-kind hand painted decoration on this round, handmade
blown glass ornament (approx. 3.5" diameter) is just perfect
for the Fall season. The warm golden brown color is a
delightful contrast to Kim's whimsical design. What do you see
... an owl? flower petals? Halloween candy? or all of these in
an interesting combination? It all adds up to a very "Happy
Fall," as you can see. This handmade blown glass ornament was
made by West Virginia glassmaker Ron Hinkle (see above
description for our Limited Edition ornament). When on the brass plated stand, this is about 7" tall.
This one-of-a-kind hand painted ornament is identified, dated
and signed: "K. Barley 2019 OOAK".
Award-winning Fenton designer Robin
Spindler continues to amaze us with her reverse
painted creations. This one-of-a-kind hand painted
round crystal paperweight (3.5" diameter) features a
Ruby-Throated Hummingbird in search of nectar amidst a
bevy of wildflowers. The depiction is so realistic
that we can almost hear the flutter of the
Hummingbird's wings, and the reverse painting creates
a wonderful feeling of depth. A cloth-lined
presentation box is also included with this
paperweight. This one-of-a-kind hand painted crystal
paperweight is identified, dated and signed: "J. K.
Spindler 2019 OOAK".
These Fenton's eBay auctions will end at 2 p.m. ET on
