This smiling, rosy-cheeked Snowman Fairy Light will cast a friendly, soft glow when on display in your home. Michelle Kibbe created a beautiful poinsettia and holly motif on this two-piece 7.25" Opal Satin Snowman Fairy Light.

A cluster of colorful poinsettias, holly sprigs and white flowers adorn the jacket of this Snowman. The top hat is open at the top to allow the subtle light of a battery-operated tea light to shine. See the "illuminating" inset photo below with the tea light aglow. The Snowman's jacket is a festive bright green with white fur trim on the sleeves and he sports matching mittens adorned with polka dot accents. Michelle added a sprig of holly tied with a red ribbon to the top hat and a lighter green scarf to complete the outfit.

 

Our Snowman Fairy Light was designed by Fenton sculptor Jon Saffell, and along with our Snowman and Snowlady figurines, they were in a grouping called Frosty Friends for several years. This Snowman Fairy Light is sure to become a favorite for holiday decorating! Each Pretty Poinsettias Snowman Fairy Light (includes battery-operated tea light) is $120.


Our 11" Alley Cat Figurine is now available in a new color for Fenton Gift Shop - Marble! A unique gray color blend with striations running throughout the glass. This Alley Cat sports his characteristic grin and large golden eyes, hand painted by Michelle Kibbe. She created a natural gray coat for the body with details on the face in hues of gold, black and light brown. The Alley Cat is among the most collectible items in Fenton history. This whimsical figurine has also been one of Fenton's most popular items since it was first made in 1970. The mould originated at the U.S. Glass Co. in Tiffin, Ohio during the 1920s and was purchased by Fenton Art Glass in the mid-1960s. Since that time, this Alley Cat has been made in a rainbow of colors and decorative treatments. This 11" Opal Satin Alley Cat was made at Mosser Glass. Each Natural Gray Alley Cat Figurine is $175.

We're pleased to offer another Fenton Art Glass shape to our line, the "Stretching Cat" Figurine. Michelle Kibbe created a different natural cat design for this 3.75" long Opal Satin figurine. She used a variety of brown tones for the body, with darker areas on the legs and tail. There are light stripes on the back. The face has large brown eyes (note those long eyelashes!) and furry details. Each Brownie Stretching Cat Figurine is $80.

 

Pre-orders for the Pretty Poinsettias Snowman Fairy Light, Natural Gray Alley Cat Figurine and Brownie Stretching Cat Figurine will be accepted until midnight (ET) on Monday, October 14, 2019. Call Fenton Gift Shop to order: 1-800-319-7793, ext. 342 or send us an email: purchasing@fentongiftshop.com and include the names of the items you want to purchase in the subject line.

Robin Spindler created a lovely design, featuring butterflies against a unique patterned background, on our 10.25" Opal Satin Vase. She hand painted two Monarch butterflies and green flowering ivy and airbrushed the background in a soft, cream color. An interesting pattern of dark and light brown tones creates a "marble" effect on the glass. The design actually looks like the veins in marble! The details on the two butterflies are marvelous with a stained-glass effect on the wings. Robin added gemstone accents on the larger butterfly. Additional flowering ivy adorns the back of this vase. Each Monarchs in Ivy Vase is $180.

We are pleased to offer a new design for our "butter tub", made by Mosser Glass. Before refrigerators were used in households, butter was stored in a round or rectangular covered dish. This version is handcrafted in Marble glass, with swirls and striations of gray. This set is satin finished on the outside with a glossy interior. This 4.5" x 4.5" Covered Box is versatile. Use it as a treasure box to store your precious keepsakes or as a candy box. . .or think "outside the box" and discover a new use for this beautiful Limited Edition! Robin Spindler re-created her unique marble pattern in brown tones for the background that blends well with the light gray glass. She hand painted white daisies and green leaves that encircle the lid. Robin added a band of gemstone accents around the "knob" portion of the lid with a single one on the very top. An amethyst colored butterfly adorns the lid as well. Each Butterfly Daisies Covered Box is $90.

We're pleased to offer this new design for our 8" Opal Satin Santa with List Figurine. Kim Barley hand lettered "Peace on Earth" on the list.

 

She created a landscape with a large Buck deer standing amidst blue and green snow covered trees.

 

Santa's cloak is painted in rich blue with golden-brown fur trim. The bag of goodies slung over Santa's back is also brown tones.

 

The Santa figurine was designed by sculptor Jon Saffell in the 1990s and quickly became popular as well as a favorite holiday gift idea. 

 

Each Peace on Earth Santa w/List Figurine is $125.

 

 

Fenton Gift Shop is proud to once again offer beautiful hand blown glass ornaments. These iridized (approx. 3-1/2" dia.) ornaments are hand blown 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.

 

Kim Barley recreates her "Let it Snow" design theme for this ornament. Swirling snow and decorative accents encircle the ornament, which has a soft blue background. A smiling snowman stands within a snow-covered pine tree landscape framed by a circle of stylized snowflakes. A redbird is perched on one of the snowman's stick arms. The snowman is attired in a green toboggan cap and sports the charactistic carrot nose. Kim hand lettered "2019" on the front and the words "Let it Snow" on the back. 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 Let It Snow Blown Ornament is $65 and includes a ribbon (not shown).

 

Pre-orders for the Monarchs in Ivy Vase, Butterfly Daisies Covered Box, Peace on Earth Santa w/List Figurine, and the Let It Snow Blown Ornament will be accepted until midnight (ET) on Wednesday, October 16, 2019.

Fenton Art Glass eBay Auctions. . .
Here's your opportunity to own a beautiful "one-of-a-kind" Fenton Art Glass creation through our weekly Fenton Art Glass eBay auctions. These Fenton's eBay auctions will end at 2 p.m. ET on Wednesday, October 16. Items featured this week. . .

Fresh from the work station of Fenton artist Michelle Kibbe, this splendid one-of-a-kind hand painted Opal Satin fairy light depicts two nostalgic scenes, a blue-gray "Tin Lizzie" automobile and an aged water-powered Grist Mill beside a stream in Wintertime.

The two scenes (shown in photo) really spark our imagination, and we wonder if the mill's owner has just driven to the area and gone inside to make sure that all is well.


This two-piece fairy light stands 5" tall, and the base has been carefully airbrushed in greenish-brown tones. The hand painted Tin Lizzie and Grist Mill are wonderfully detailed, and look wonderful when the fairy light is illuminated. This one-of-a-kind hand painted fairy light is identified, dated and signed inside the shade: "hand painted by M. Kibbe 2019 OOAK".

Fenton artist Kim Barley has this one-of-a-kind hand painted Opal Satin Mouse figurine (2.75" tall) all ready for a good sleep on a chilly clear night! The stars twinkle as the green-eyed Mouse gets drowsy and yawns under the light of a quarter moon. Note Kim's whimsical touches ─ ZZZ, frog-face slippers and a penquin with an orange beak ─ all hand painted with great care. Kim hand lettered the words “STARRY NIGHT” on the ears along with “Zzzz”. This one-of-a-kind hand painted Opal Satin Mouse figurine, is identified, dated and signed on the underside: "Kim Barley 2019 OOAK". These Fenton's eBay auctions will end at 2 p.m. ET on Wednesday, October 16.
