Michelle Kibbe loves gardening and we believe
that some of her flowers inspired her beautiful design of
large rose blossoms combined with greenery and sprigs of lavendar flowers. Michelle created a "burmese"-like color
effect for the background on this 10.25" Opal Satin Vase.
Notice the soft pink hue at the base which blends into a pale
yellow. The top half of this vase is painted in a vibrant rose
color, providing the perfect canvas for the meticulously
executed lush rose blooms.
Michelle added delicate scrollwork around the top to complete
this lovely hand painted design.
Each Blushing Roses Vase is $170.
Collectors have always enjoyed the charm of
Fenton Art Glass Fairy Lights. The flickering flame from a
small candle (natural or battery) inside a Fairy Light
always seems to cast a warm glow to an entire room.
This popular two-piece 7.25" Opal Satin Snowman Fairy Light
will provide a cheerful touch to any room. It was
designed by Fenton Art Glass sculptor Jon Saffell. Along with our
Snowman and Snowlady figurines, they were included in a
grouping called "Frosty Friends" for several years. We're
sure Kim Barley's "Holiday Garland" Snowman Fairy Light
will become a seasonal decorating favorite!
The "Holiday Garland" Snowman Fairy Light
features a hand painted whimsical design by Kim Barley.
She created a snowy landscape by airbrushing part of the base in soft white and blue hues
with painted snow details. A chubby Cardinal
perches on the blade of a snow shovel.
The top decoration has falling snow and a
brown string garland. The colorful garland includes a
green mitten, golden star, gingerbread man, and a red
heart. This snowman has rosy cheeks, a large smile, green eyes and
an orange carrot nose. The top hat has holly sprig and
golden star accents. Kim also added a star on the scarf.
The photos below show more of the hand painted details on
this Fairy Light, including an inset photo of it with the
tea light in it.
Watch for more shapes in future newsletters
with Kim's whimsical "Holiday Garland" design!
Each Holiday Garland Snowman Fairy Light is $120
and includes a battery-operated tea light. |

Michelle created an adorable face with
large blue eyes and a smiling expression. A green curli-que
with white dot accents adorns the head. Each ear sports a
colorful floral in purple, blue and raspberry hues. A
large peacock feather in complementary hues adores the
front of the figurine. Perfect gift for the mouse figurine
collector or treat yourself!
Each Peacock Feathers Mouse Figurine is $80.

Among the most collectible
items in Fenton history, the whimsical Alley Cat 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. We're
pleased to offer this 11" Alley Cat, handcrafted in Marble
glass, with a hand painted design by Robin Spindler. A stray
tabby cat showed up at Robin's house one day and that cat soon
delivered kittens. Robin said her Alley Cat design reminded
her of the mama kitty, so we chose that name for this latest
Limited Edition figurine. "Mama Kitty" has large dark gray and
black stripes with brown tones throughout the body. The amber
colored eyes, pink nose and whisker dots highlight the face
with a mischievous grin.
Each
Mama Kitty Alley Cat
Figurine is $185.
The mould for this 6" Opal Satin Pumpkinhead
figurine was designed by sculptor Suzi Whitaker. "Pumpkinhead"
joined Fenton's cast of colorful Halloween characters in 2007.
We're pleased to offer a new look, designed by Robin Spindler,
for this Limited Edition figurine. Robin has transformed
the "pumpkinhead" into a rosy-cheeked grandmother offering
everyone a treat from her bag of fresh baked cookies. Robin
created a hooded jacket adorned with petite flowers and a gem
accent at the neck. Note those big blue eyes and welcoming
smile!
Each Fresh Baked Cookies Pumpkinhead Figurine
is $115.
Kim Barley's hand painted "First Snow" scene
suits our 4.25" Fox figurine, handcrafted in our new Caramel
color.
The body of the fox is painted in natural
brown-orange tones, complete with the charactistic
black-tipped ears. Note the golden-brown eyes!
Kim created a wonderful winter landscape of
green-blue pines and bare white trees. Snowflakes fall from
the sky while the wind sends the remaining Autumn leaves
gently to the snow-covered ground.
Each First Snow
Fox Figurine is $80.

The perfect accent piece for your holiday decorating!
Our round 3.5" diameter crystal paperweight
sports an adorable brown and white puppy wearing a Santa
cap. . . perhaps he is Santa's pup? Those eyes seems to
say "please pet me!"
Michelle Kibbe used a reverse painting
technique for the background (see top inset photo) with
the holly and berries. The bottom of this paperweight is
flat, allowing one to display it upright. Each Santa's Pup
Paperweight is $70 and limited to 19.

weekly Fenton Art Glass eBay auctions. These Fenton's eBay
auctions will end at 2 p.m. ET on Wednesday, November 20th.
Items
featured this week. . .
The majesty of an alert buck Whitetail deer is
captured on this stately hand painted Opal Satin vase (10.75"
tall) from Fenton artist Michelle Kibbe. The hand painted
colors are true to life, and every brushstroke is perfectly
executed. Delicate airbrushing created the distinctive late
afternoon light of late fall/early winter, and the landscape
with green pine trees frames the entire scene very nicely
indeed. Note the rail fence and the hunter's cabin seen in the
background. This one-of-a-kind hand painted vase is
identified, dated and signed on the underside: "hand painted
by M. Kibbe 2019 OOAK".
The Raccoon is one of America's best loved animals, and Fenton
artist Michelle Kibbe has captured all of the charm of the
"masked bandit" on this one-of-a-kind hand painted Fenton Art
Glass plate (8" d.) in Opal Satin glass. The subtle black
border perfectly frames the curious Raccoon as it peers out of
a burrow, ready for an evening's quest for food ... or perhaps
a visit to a countryside (or even a citywide!) residence in
search of a snack to satisfy its omnivorous appetite.
Michelle's meticulous black and white hand painting creates a
most interesting effect, and this plate will be a delight to
display. This one-of-a-kind hand painted Opal Satin plate is
identified, dated and signed on the reverse side: "hand
painted by M. Kibbe 2019 OOAK".
These Fenton's eBay auctions will end at 2 p.m. ET on
Wednesday, November 20th. |
