Right: This adorable approx. 3" Opal
Satin Mouse figurine has a lovely hand painted "natural"
design by Kim Barley. It would make a perfect Christmas gift
for someone special or a "sweetheart" of a gift for
Valentine's Day! This petite figurine sports brown shoes and a
colorful vest made with a pattern of red squares, floral print
and hearts. A red scarf completes this tiny fella's outfit.
Kim added red hearts and tiny white floral accents on each
ear. Note those large blue eyes! Additional views are shown
below.
Each Red Hearts Mouse Figurine is $80. |

The dark blue color of this 7" tall x 5.5" wide
tall Cobalt Iceberg Paperweight provides an excellent canvas
for Michelle Kibbe's hand painted design of an ancient ocean
resident, the Sea Turtle. The turtle appears to be climbing
onto the underwater land surface, creating foaming waters
around it. Michelle added water bubbles, shells and underwater
foliage to her scene. Did you know. . . Sea Turtles can
be found in all oceans of the world except in the polar area.
Out of seven known species of Sea Turtles, six of them are critically
endangered. Each Sea Turtle
Iceberg Paperweight is $110.
|
Christmas trees are the heart of the American holiday
tradition. Collect and enjoy this 6.5" Ruby Tree for your
holiday celebrations.
Michelle Kibbe's hand painted decoration
features large, beautiful poinsettias in shades of red, pink
and white. These lush blooms encircle the base of the Ruby
tree.
Michelle added small clusters of pine cones and berries with
white flowers that provide attractive accents on the upper
branches of the tree, allowing the rich Ruby glass to shown
through the design. Michelle sprayed the top of the tree in a
hue of gold metallic that really sparkles.
The first Fenton Tree (5535) was offered in the
1992 Christmas catalog supplement. The 6.5" tree was created
by designer Cathy See. It was first offered in Ruby, Green
and iridized crystal. Each tree was accented with a tiny gold
bird on one of the branches. Two smaller trees were added a
year later. Collectors have enjoyed including the
Fenton trees in their seasonal decorating. Each Pine
Cones & Poinsettias Tree
is $80.
Pre-orders for the
Red Hearts Mouse Figurine,
the Sea Turtle
Iceberg Paperweight and the
Pine Cones & Poinsettias Tree

Robin Spindler recently created an
intriguing Milky Way Galaxy, shooting star and Lighthouse scene on our
Lighthouse Fairy Light that was very popular with
collectors.
She continues that design theme on this 11"
Opal Satin Vase. Her remarkable design encircles the vase.
A moon is high in the night sky above the raging waters
filled with foamy waves.
The Milky Way Galaxy appears behind the
lighthouse, which casts brilliant beams across the
star-filled sky. You can see the Milky Way Galaxy in the
background. The windows of the lighthouse keeper's
cottage glow with a warm light.
Each Milky Way Galaxy Vase is
$165.

We are pleased to introduce a NEW Caramel color for our
11" Alley Cat Figurine. Caramel is a rich color that
reminds one of the sweet candy with the same name!
The inside of this figurine is shiny, while the outside
has been satin finished for Kim Barley's wonderful hand
painted winter scene of a female Cardinal perched on a
branch amidst the falling snow.
|
A wintry landscape of snow-covered trees
encircles this figurine. Note that characteristic grin
with white whiskers and those large green eyes. 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
for this piece 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. Each Winter Cardinal Alley Cat
Figurine is $185.
For those of you who have cats as pets, the scene on this Opal
Snowflake Ornament may be familiar! Michelle Kibbe hand
painted a large black and white cat napping on a rug in front of a warm fire.
Two stockings are in view next to a Christmas tree. Hang this 3.25" ornament on
your tree or use it as a window decoration. A snowflake design
is embossed in the glass on the reverse side of this ornament.
A ribbon, suitable for hanging, is provided with each
ornament. This Snowflake Ornament, dated 2019, makes an
excellent keepsake gift for someone special or treat yourself!
Each 2019 Napping Cat Snowflake Ornament is $55.
Our 5.5" Eggplant Owl Figurine is adorned in winter
splendor with beautiful snowflakes and hues of aqua-blue
designed and hand painted by Kim Barley. Kim created the
dark gold eyes and added black and gold stripes, aqua
edging and whilte polka dot accents to create a
mesmerizing effect. A curli-que design tops the head.
The legs are also brown with gold stripes and note those
vibrant aqua talons! The lovely Eggplant color shows
through the aqua-blue tones that Kim used on the body and
the base to create the perfect color harmony. The wings
are painted a soft brown which shades to the Eggplant
color. Kim added large aqua-white accent dots on the wings
with smaller white dots on the tail feathers. Each
Snowy Flakes Owl Figurine is $95.
Pre-orders for the Milky Way Galaxy
Vase, Winter Cardinal
Alley Cat Figurine, 2019 Napping Cat Snowflake
Ornament, and the Snowy Flakes Owl Figurine
will be accepted until midnight (ET) on Wednesday,
November 6, 2019.

Fenton Art Glass eBay Auctions. .
.
Here's your opportunity to own a lovely and
unqiue "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, November 6th.
Items
featured this week. . .
Created in 2011 at Glass Axis Studio in Columbus,
Ohio by internationally-recognized glass artist,
Doug Frates, this art piece was one of several
commissioned by Tom Fenton for his Artful
Remembrance project.
This impressive vase is 11.75” tall with an 8.25”
dia. opening and weighs about six pounds. Doug
Frates calls this style of coloring "Sedona," and
it is one of the silvered finishes for which he
has become famous. Doug Frates is a former United
States Marine who served in Iraq in 2003.
This vase also has a black ring
around the top and is signed by Doug. His
signature is large, but it blends in, so you need
to look closely near the bottom of the piece. The
finished bottom of the vase reveals the
characteristic pontil mark typical of offhand
glass artistry. The bottom surface displays an
inscribed alphanumeric Artful Remembrance
identification code. |

Former Fenton Art Glass artist Christy Riggs
hand painted this splendid Burmese Diamond Optic glass vase
(approx. 4.25" tall). The design features flowers in shades of
pink and white with delicate white accents. Green foliage can
also be seen. There is a raised beaded pattern below the
crimp. Burmese is a classic Fenton glass color, made with pure
gold in the glass batch, and special reheating techniques
mastered by Fenton glassworkers create the delicate pink blush
that collectors love. This hand painted Burmese Diamond Optic
vase is identified, dated and signed on the underside: "Hand
painted by C. Riggs".
These Fenton's eBay auctions will end at 2 p.m. ET on
Wednesday, November 6th. |
