Our talented team of artists has created some wonderful new designs, now available for pre-order. Each Limited Edition will be signed, numbered and dated by one of our talented designers. 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 customer expense, to the Fenton Gift Shop, 2242 Williams Hwy., Suite 108, Williamstown, WV 26187.

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 and the Snow Buddies Vase will be accepted until midnight (ET) on Monday, September 23, 2019.

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.

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 Wednesday, September 25.
