American glass manufacturers have produced eggs since the
early 1900s. The Fenton Art Glass "5140" Egg on Stand was
produced in many colors and patterns during the 1970s and 80s.
Fenton Art Glass began their Collectible Eggs series in 1991.
We are pleased to bring back the Egg on Stand with this latest
Limited Edition, handcrafted in Opal Satin. Michelle Kibbe
transformed the soft white color of this nearly 4" Egg on
Stand into a darkened landscape with a star-filled sky. Three
silhouetted figures ride their camels, following the brilliant
white star. Michelle hand lettered "Wise Men Still Seek Him"
around the bottom of the egg shape. Perfect holiday gift for
someone special or treat yourself! Each Three Wise Men
Egg on Stand Figurine is $75.
Sculptor Jon Saffell designed the (5065)
Cat Figurine, known as the Stylized Cat, in 1999, much to
the delight of our cat fanciers!
We are pleased to offer our latest Stylized
Cat in a Ruby Satin finish. This whimsical Snowman design
was created by Michelle Kibbe.
A smiling snowman celebrates snow with his
arm branches raised in joy to catch the falling
snowflakes. Note the bright carrot nose, red heart and
pink ribbon entwined on the Snowman's stick arms.
Michelle hand lettered SNOW along one side
of the figurine. She added a cross-hatch pattern scarf
in gold and red colors that complements the amber colored
eyes and golden features on the cat's face.
Each SNOW Stylized Cat Figurine is $95 and will
be limited to 14. |

The rich blue of this 5.5" Cobalt Round
Paperweight provides an excellent canvas for Michelle Kibbe's
hand painted design of a brilliant red cardinal, with its
characteristic black face mask, perched on a holly tree
branch. Michelle framed her scene with a pine and berries
border. She added a snowy landscape for the background.
Each Cardinal Round
Paperweight is $100.
Pre-orders for the
Three Wise Men Egg on Stand Figurine,
the SNOW Stylized Cat Figurine
and the Cardinal Round
Paperweight
will be accepted until midnight (ET) on Monday, November 11,
2019. To place your pre-order for

Our 8" Opal Satin Chessie Cat Covered Box features a
delightful "Curious Mice" hand painted design by Robin
Spindler. A kitten, snuggled in its blanket, is unaware of
the curious mice sneaking a peek at the napping feline.
Robin painted lovely autumn- colored leaves on the lid and
as the background on the Chessie box. Note the pink ears
and snappy black eyes of the mice!
This popular "Chessie" cat character was
used as a symbol of the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway with
their advertising slogan that when traveling on their
railway you would "sleep like a kitten". In addition to
the artist's signature, the base of this box is embossed
with the words "Chessie by Fenton".
Note the inset photo with Robin's
signature.
The inside is shiny, while the outside has been satin
finished. Each Curious Mice Chessie Cat Covered
Box is $150.

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 Opal glass, with a satin
finish on the outside and 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! Michelle Kibbe was thinking
outside the "design" box when she created a stylized Zebra
motif for this set! Her design of a Zebra with white
stripes encircles the box. Michelle added white bands with
black polka dot accents and narrow pink banding as a
frame. Note the golden brown eye. The lid sports black
stripes against a pink background that has large pink and
white flower accents. Each Stylized Zebra
Covered Box is $90.
Pre-orders for the
Curious Mice Chessie Cat Covered
Box and the Stylized Zebra Covered Box
will be accepted until midnight (ET) on Wednesday,
November 13, 2019. Please call Fenton Gift Shop:
1-800-319-7793, ext. 342 or email:

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 13th.
Items
featured this week. . .
Here's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to
acquire a great one-of-a-kind hand painted Alley Cat figurine
(11"tall) by award-winning Fenton designer Robin Spindler. The
glass color is "Georgia Blue," and this is the ONLY example of
this interesting glass color that will be hand painted with
this spectacular underwater seascape. Her design includes
depictions of undersea life, from Bottlenose Dolphins, a Zebra
Moray Eel, a Sea Turtle and a small school of fish, along with
beautiful Coral and various colorful floral and fauna. Note
the interesting way that Robin used the cat's tail to create
the striped black and yellow pattern for that eel! Robin added
a unique tint to the Alley Cat's ears and nose. Among the most
collectible items in Fenton history, the Alley Cat has been
one of Fenton's most popular items since it debuted in 1970.
Fenton collectors just can't seem to get enough of the Alley
Cat's characteristic grin! The Alley Cat 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.
Fenton artist Michelle Kibbe’s talents and hand painting
skills are really showcased on this 8.75” tall one-of-a-kind
vase in Opal Satin glass. The Winter scene is just perfect, as
a cute kitten snug and warm inside a home looks upward to see
a pair of Cardinals perched on a snow-covered pine bough just
outside a window. All the hand painted details are
meticulously executed, and the vivid colors really make a
statement! Note the red holiday candle and green holly
leaves/red berries on the reverse side of the vase.
Here’s a great opportunity to acquire an historic item from
the Fenton Art Glass line that was hand painted by a valued,
longtime employee who was a decorator for the glass company
and later worked for the Fenton Gift Shop. This two-piece
fairy light has a ruby glass shade and a crystal glass base
that was modeled after the famous Clarke fairy lights that
were made in England in the 1880s. The hand painted ruby shade
has the hand painted decoration called “Holly on Ruby” when it
debuted in the Fenton line beginning in 1972. The ruby shade
is signed inside: “hand painted by Pam A.” At the time, this
was Pamela Alexander, and she later became known as “Pam Dick”
after her marriage to another Fenton employee. Pam Dick was an
active participant in many Fenton collector club conventions,
and she traveled to many cities in the USA for Fenton sales
presentations. Fenton Gift Shop president Randy Fenton has
added his signature to the inside of the shade.
These Fenton's eBay auctions will end at 2 p.m. ET on
Wednesday, November 13th. |
