Michelle Kibbe loves to hand paint scenes
with birds, and this one-of-a-kind Opal Satin
Santa figurine (8" tall) showcases her talents and skills.
The various birdhouses and the brilliant red Cardinal have
a wonderfully whimsical quality to them. The varied
birdhouse styles add to the eye appeal of this hand
painted Santa figurine. There's even a nice log cabin style birdhouse!
These colorful birdhouses are set amidst green holly
leaves and red berries. Santa's robe is painted in a soft
blend of blue to purple with holly and berries on one sleeve
(and look for the snowflakes on the robe). Just take a peek at
Santa's list ...
"Bird Seed!
Each Birdhouses Santa Figurine is $125. |

Kim Barley continues her "Holiday Garland"
design on our Opal Satin 3.75" Snowlady and 4" Snowman
Figurines. She created a snowy landscape in soft white and
blue tones with painted snow details. A chubby Cardinal
perches on the blade of a snow shovel on the Snowman and
another Cardinal
adorns the purse of the Snowlady. Kim added falling snow
and a brown string garland that includes a red heart,
colorful mitten, golden star, and a gingerbread man. Each
figurine has rosy cheeks with a wide smile, green eyes and
an orange carrot nose. The hat on each figurine has a holly sprig
with a golden star accent. See the photos below for additional details. These figurines were designed by Fenton Art
Glass sculptor Jon Saffell. Along with our Snowman Fairy
Light, they were included in a grouping called "Frosty
Friends" for several years. We're sure this "Holiday
Garland" Snowcouple will become a seasonal decorating favorite!
Each Holiday Garland Snowman and Snowlady
Figurines are $140 for the pair and limited to ten.

This 8" Lighthouse is handcrafted in Opal Satin
glass (5" base) and crystal (3" top), using Fenton Art Glass
moulds that were not used for production before glassmaking
halted at Fenton in 2011.
Michelle Kibbe created an interesting
underwater scene including colorful foliage and Seahorses. A Seahorse pair adorns one side of the
Fairy Light base, while another Seahorse floats amongst the
foliage on another side. Additional views are shown below. The
base is airbrushed in soft blue-green hues of water with a
stripe pattern accent in multiple colors encircling the base.
Did you know... Seahorse couples greet
each other daily with a unique dance that may also
involve changing color. Seahorses make noises, during feeding
and courtship, that can be heard underwater. This sound
reminds one of smacking your lips.
A battery-operated tea light is included with each Lighthouse.
It fits perfectly on the top of the base in a recessed area.
Each Seahorses Lighthouse Fairy Light
is $130. |

Pre-orders for the
Birdhouses Santa Figurine, Holiday Garland Snowman

Sculptor Jon Saffell designed the Ghost
Figurine which debuted in the Fenton Halloween line in
2002. Collectors were quick to embrace the latest
Halloween figurine and it remains a collector favorite.
Fenton Gift Shop is pleased to offer this
popular figurine in our latest color, Caramel. Kim Barley
created another wonderfully whimsical design that includes
many of the fun, traditional Halloween symbols!
The front of the Ghost figurine features a
trio of pumpkins, each one sporting a unique design. One
pumpkin provides the "face" on top with large green eyes and
a wide grin. The middle pumpkin has a skull and two stars
for buttons and Kim also hand lettered the word "BOO" in
purple with black outline. Another grinning carved pumpkin adorns the
base.
There's also a spider web with a dangling
purple and white polka dotted spider, a scraggly black
cat, colorful candy corn, vines, stars, and swirls. Kim created a
checkered pattern along the base. A flying bat with the
decorative accents is painted on the backside.
The different swirls of the caramel color lend
an interesting effect to this figurine. See the photos
below for additional views. Each BOO Pumpkins
Ghost Figurine is $115.

The impressive 11.5" size and shape of this
Opal Satin Vase provides the perfect canvas for Robin
Spindler's remarkable winter scene. Her hand painted
details are meticulously executed.
A cowboy trudges through heavy snow,
leading his horse by the reins. However, this horse isn't
just any horse! It is called a "Knabstrupper", a rare Danish breed
(see details in the figurine description).
Robin created a beautiful winter landscape
with snow covered trees in the distance. Additional views
are shown below. Note the view which shows a Knabstrupper
foal, amidst the barren trees, perhaps attempting to
either escape from the cowboy or head back to his stall in
the much warmer barn! This Knabstrupper Horse vase will
definitely start an interesting conversation when on
display in your home! Each
Knabstrupper Horse Vase
is $220. |

The perfect companion piece for the
magnificent vase shown above is this approx. 4" long
Opal Satin Knabstrupper Horse Figurine, also
designed by Robin Spindler. She hand painted this
figurine to resemble the rare Knabstrupper horse.
Did you know. . . The
Knabstrupper (nab-strup-er) is a breed of rare Danish
horse characterized by an unconventional range of
coloration on the coat. This coloration reminds one of
similar patterns you might see on Dalmatian dogs. The
Knabstrupper breed is very rare, with a reported
population of around 600
world-wide. These horses are also widely admired by
horse enthusiasts, and are especially popular among
children. This figurine would make the perfect
"unique" gift for the horse enthusiast or figurine
collector! Each
Knabstrupper Horse Figurine is $80. |

Michelle Kibbe hand painted a delightful holiday scene on
our 3.25" Opal Satin Snowflake Ornament that is sure to

curious red-nosed young Buck deer watching him. Michelle
painted the ornament in a rosy red color.
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. |
Each Peek-a-boo Santa Snowflake
Ornament is $55. |

weekly Fenton Art Glass eBay auctions. These Fenton's eBay
auctions will end at 2 p.m. ET on Wednesday, November 27th.
Items
featured this week. . .
Favrene is a favorite glass color among Fenton
glass collectors, and this dramatic sand carved Favrene vase
(9.75” tall) from artist Cathy Mackey is sure to find a place
in some lucky collector’s collection. The clouds, foliage and
trees in silhouette were created by meticulous masking and
careful sand carving, and the vivid iridescence of this
special glass really makes every element of the design stand
out. The depiction of shafts of sunlight is particularly eye
catching, and all who see this Favrene vase will appreciate
its artistry. Fenton's Favrene is a special cobalt blue glass
that contains pure silver in the glass batch. Special
reheating techniques are needed to create the vivid iridescent
surface that has made Favrene a "classic" Fenton glass color.
This Favrene vase is signed by Cathy Mackey on the underside,
and it was also personally signed by Tom Fenton, (son of Frank
M. Fenton) who was the longtime factory manager and
vice-president at Fenton Art Glass until his retirement.
With Chocolate glass for her canvas, award-winning Fenton
artist Kim Barley designed and hand painted this splendid
one-of-a-kind vase (7.25” tall). Each panel of this square
vase is beautifully hand painted, ranging from scenes of
snow-covered trees in Winter and a realistic barn with stone
foundation to a majestic Red Fox that surveys the panoramic
landscape with its piercing eyes. All the details are
meticulously hand painted, and every brushstroke is perfectly
executed. Chocolate glass is a classic Fenton color, and the
warn brown tones add much to Kim’s delightful design. This
one-of-a-kind hand painted vase is identified, signed and
dated on the underside: “Kim Barley 2019 OOAK”.
These Fenton's eBay auctions will end at 2 p.m. ET on
Wednesday, November 27th. |
