Kim Barley's lovely "Butterfly & Tulips" hand painted design on our 5" Opal Satin Stylized Cat Figurine will add just the right spot of color to any room in your home! Large tulip blooms in shades of pink, white and raspberry adorn the cat, which has been transformed into a gray tabby with stripes in gray tones on the body.

 

A black and yellow butterfly hovers near one of the tulip blooms. Kim added a sprig of berries to the top of the head (see inset photo). Note those attractive green eyes.

 

Additional views are shown below. This would make the perfect gift for the figurine collector, cat enthusiast or treat yourself!

 

Sculptor Jon Saffell designed the (5065) Cat figurine, known as the Stylized Cat, in 1999, much to the delight of our cat fanciers! Each Butterfly & Tulips Stylized Cat Figurine is $95.

Fenton Gift Shop is proud to 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 glass-making 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. This ornament features a Limited Edition design by Kim Barley and will be signed and dated 2019. Kim's whimsical hand painted scene includes a smiling snowman, dressed in a colorful toboggan and scarf, raising its wooden branch arm in a hello salute to a small blue bird perched on another branch. The bluebird also sports a toboggan. Note the red heart dangling from the bird's branch.  Kim created a snowflake effect around the top of the ornament and she hand lettered the word "joy" in beautiful script with a snowflake accent underneath. We're sure this ornament will become a treasured family heirloom! Each Joy Blown Ornament is $65.


Michelle Kibbe's wonderful winter scene on this 8.75" Opal Satin Vase features black-capped chickadees. One view has two of these petite birds perched on a fence. . . perhaps pausing during feeding time! Another view has a chickadee perched on a pine tree branch. Michelle created a frame effect for the scene by painting the top and bottom areas in a winter sky blue accented with  snowflakes of assorted sizes. She added delicate blue ring accents that encircle the vase. Additional views of this lovely vase are shown below.

 

Did you know. . . Commonly seen at bird feeders, black-capped chickadees consume some berries and seeds, especially in the winter months when insects are scarce. To keep warm, a black-capped chickadee creates its own insulation against the cold by making its soft, thick feathers puff out to trap warm air close to its body. Each Snowflakes & Chickadees Vase is $165.

 

Pre-orders for the Butterfly & Tulips Stylized Cat Figurine, the Joy Blown Ornament and the Snowflakes & Chickadees Vase will be accepted until midnight (ET) on Monday, December 16, 2019.

These latest Limited Editions, shown at left, were made by Mosser, using the original Fenton Art Glass mould, for the Fenton Gift Shop.

 

Pre-orders for A Mother's Tender Care Vase, the Penguin Pals Chessie Cat Covered Box and the Tie Dye Bear Figurine will be accepted until midnight (ET) on Wednesday, December 18, 2019.

The impressive size of this 11.25" Opal Satin Vase provides a perfect glass canvas for Robin Spindler's spectacular scene of a mother Great Horned Owl with two owlets. The hand painted details are meticulously executed. . . a tribute to Robin's artistic talent. A female Great Horned Owl watches over her young as they sleep in their nest. Robin has transformed the entire vase into the owl's natural habitat of a dense forest with trees in brown tones. Clusters of blue berries hang from branches. Note the mesmerizing eyes on the mother owl! Robin named her design "A Mother's Tender Care". Each vase will be signed, dated and numbered with the name also added to each piece. Did you know. . . Great Horned Owls are most vocal in the winter. They may be heard in every habitat across North America, even in the cities! The owlet, or baby great horned owl, displays whitish gray down with brown markings as hatchlings. As days go by, the chick begins to show more of a cinnamon-buff colored down. When they are 42 days old, the young owls attempt to fly. Each A Mother's Tender Care Vase is $215.

It's getting closer to winter and many areas of our country have already experienced their first snowfall! Michelle Kibbe celebrates winter fun and games with this adorable "Penguin Pals" hand painted design. Our 8" Opal Satin Chessie Cat Covered Box provides the perfect glass canvas for these playful penguins preparing for a snowball battle! Their antics have awakened the sleepy gray kitten from its winter nap. Michelle added snowflake accents on the lid as well as a colorful stripe effect around the edge. She airbrushed the top of the lid as well as the base of the box in light blue. She also added a trio of penguin tracks on the base. 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". The inside is shiny, while the outside has been satin finished. Each Penguin Pals Chessie Cat Covered Box is $150.

Robin Spindler continues to channel another era with her latest "tie dye" design. She chose the 3.5" Opal Satin Sitting Bear for her latest figurine. Robin airbrushed and hand painted the figurine, resulting in an amazing blend of multi-colored brushstrokes producing the "tie-dye" pattern.

 

You'll love the vibrant shades of blue, rosy red, yellow, golden-orange, and green in this Sitting Bear! We're sure this figurine will appeal to the young as well as the young-at-heart! Additional views are shown below. Note the large blue eyes, the long, curling eyelashes and that sweet expression.

 

If you recently ordered Robin's Tie-Dye Dino, Toad and Turtle figurines, then you'll want to add this Sitting Bear as the perfect companion piece for your collection. Each Tie Dye Bear Figurine is $80.

 

Pre-orders for A Mother's Tender Care Vase, the Penguin Pals Chessie Cat Covered Box and the Tie Dye Sitting Bear Figurine will be accepted until midnight (ET) on Wednesday, December 18, 2019.

Just in time for Christmas 2019, here's a great combination ... a gorgeous hand blown ornament by glass artisan Ron Hinkle and a one-of-a-kind decoration by award-winning Fenton designer Robin Spindler. The dramatic decoration by Robin combines hand painted pine boughs, pinecones and red berries with a sparkling ruby red necklace and green and red gemstone accents on the topmost area of the ornament.

 

This ornament was hand blown by Ron Hinkle, a glass artisan from Buckhannon, West Virginia. Ron uses his glass-making 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. This one-of-a-kind hand painted ornament is identified, dated and signed: "J. K. Spindler 2019 OOAK".

Do you remember when U.S. postage stamps to mail a holiday card were just 3 cents? Fenton artist Kim Barley has this one-of-a-kind hand painted Opal Satin Mouse figurine (2.75" tall) all decked out for the festive season in red and green with yellow for a splendid contrast. Note those glittering ruby red slippers, the stars in one ear ... and, in the other ear, that historic 3 cent stamp with the Holly and Berry motif. How cute is that? As always, the hand painted eyes are remarkably expressive. This one-of-a-kind hand painted Mouse figurine is identified, signed and dated on the underside: "Kim Barley 2019 OOAK". These Fenton Art Glass eBay auctions will end at 2 p.m. ET on Wednesday, December 18th.
