The 10.75" size and shape of this Opal
Satin Vase provides the perfect glass canvas for Michelle
Kibbe's hand painted rendition of a male ring-necked pheasant in
flight.
The background includes a weathered wooden
fence and landscape. Michelle added a blend of soft colors
for the sky, creating a wonderful frame effect for the
almost iridescent colors painted on the male Pheasant.
Additional views of the scenic landscape
are shown below the main image. The hand painted details
on this vase are meticulously executed and a tribute to
Michelle's artistic talent at capturing wildlife.
Did you know. . . The male Pheasant
is a large bird, with an average weight of two-three
pounds. The male measures from 24 to 35 inches long with
it's tail making up about 20 inches of that length. They
can fly 38-48 mph, but may reach speeds of up to 60 mph
when they are being chased by a predator.
Each
Pheasant in Flight
Vase is $165.

Kim Barley celebrates the fast approaching new
year with a delightful design on a collector favorite.
Our
2.75" Opal Satin Mouse figurine is all decked out in a festive
garb with a hand painted "HAPPY NEW YEAR 2020" message. As
always, Kim added a whimsical and cute expression for the
face.
A black top hat appears on one side with golden star
accents. This figurine will make the perfect collector
keepsake for the year 2020.
Each Happy New Year 2020 Mouse Figurine is $80. |

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 Ruby glass with a whimsical
Halloween themed design by Kim Barley. She hand
lettered the words "Goblins and Goodies", "Yummy!" and
"Eat Out". You'll love all the fun symbols of the
Halloween holiday depicted in Kim's design. A smiling
ghost pops up behind a checkerboard kettle boiling
with an oozing green goo of bones, eyes (of newts,
perhaps?), candy and candy corn. Purple flying bats
and white stars surround the kettle.
Each Goblins & Goodies Ghost Figurine
is $115. |

Introduced as part of our "Frosty Friends"
collection in 2002, the 7.25" two-part Snowman Fairy Light was
designed by sculptor Jon Saffell. Robin Spindler brings back a
popular theme from one of her past designs for this Opal Satin
Snowman Fairy Light. A brown bunny perches precariously atop
another bunny while trying to reach the bright orange carrot
nose of the rosy-cheeked Snowman. Meanwhile, the grinning
Snowman watches their antics. Robin's design is sure to bring
a smile to one and all! The snowman's brown top hat includes a
sprig of holly with bright red berries. She added a vibrant
purple and white scarf with coordinating buttons. Additional
views are shown in the photo, including one showing the soft
glow from the battery-operated tea light provided with each
figurine. Each Stealing Carrots Again Snowman Fairy
Light is $120.
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.
Fenton collectors just can't seem to get enough of the Alley
Cat's characteristic grin! 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. We're sure this latest Limited Edition
Alley Cat by Robin Spindler will become a collector favorite.
She decided to depict a species of wild cat called the Oncilla,
also known as a little spotted cat, tiger cat, lesser spotted
cat and ocelot cat. Robin has captured the look of the
Oncilla's fur, which is thick, soft and has a beautiful
pattern with dark spots and shapes called “rosettes”.
Each Oncilla Alley Cat Figurine
is $190.

Michelle Kibbe created a lovely design in soft
brown tones for our 5.75" Opal Satin Owl Figurine.
The hand painted details include wonderful
feathers and delicate designs. Michelle used paint on a sponge
to create the unique look on the body of th figurine. As always, the
dark eyes are mezmerizing and appear to be "watching"... hence our name for
this figurine "Watching Owl".
Note the details around
the eyes and on the talons! Each Watching
Owl Figurine is $95.
Pre-orders for the
Stealing Carrots Again Snowman
Fairy Light, the Watching Owl Figurine and the
Oncilla Alley Cat Figurine
will be accepted until midnight (ET)
on Wednesday, December 25, 2019.

Intricate sand carving and meticulous hand
painting combine to make this one-of-a-kind vase (10.75" tall)
in exotic Persimmon glass a real beauty! Persimmon is a cased
glass color with a ruby exterior and a milk glass interior.
Sand carving takes away some of the exterior layer, creating
the wonderfully rich yellow-orange tones that have great eye
appeal.
The lush sand carved trees completely encircle
this vase. Fenton artist Michelle Kibbe hand painted the bull
Elk, and he is so realistic that we can almost hear the
characteristic "bugle" that makes this majestic animal so
interesting. On the underside, this one-of-a-kind vase is
identified, signed and dated ("hand painted by M. Kibbe 2019
OOAK"), and longtime Fenton Art Glass vice-president/factory
manager Tom Fenton has personally signed this piece. |

Here's a great opportunity to acquire a pair of
one-of-a-kind Fox figurines (4.5" tall and 4.125" tall)
designed and hand painted by Robin Spindler, the well-known
and much admired award-winning Fenton artist. Robin used
delicate airbrushing for the bodies of the Fox figurines, and
she was careful to create slightly different red/orange/brown
tones on each figurine. The hand painted mushrooms are vivid
and beautifully colored, and gemstone accents add greatly to
the appeal of this pair of Fox figurines. As always, the hand
painted eyes are remarkably expressive. We really like the way
these two figurines can be arranged close together, so we
decided that this one-of-a-kind pair should be called "Vicki
the vixen" (female fox) and "Ted the tod" (male fox). These
one-of-a-kind Fox figurines are identified, dated and signed
on their respective undersides: "Fenton 2019 J. K. Spindler
OOAK".These Fenton Art Glass eBay auctions will end at 2 p.m. ET on
Wednesday, December 25th. |
