During this wonderful season of the year, we're looking forward to sharing time with our families and nearby friends, not to mention the smiles, handshakes and hugs from those we see less often. The sights and sounds of Christmas never fail to fill us with reverence and awe.

We hope all of you will share with us the joy and meaning of Christmas. . .

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.

Pre-orders for the Pheasant in Flight Vase, Happy New Year 2020 Mouse figurine and Goblins & Goodies Ghost Figurine will be accepted until midnight, December 23rd. Please call Fenton Gift Shop at 1-800-319-7793, ext. 342 or email: purchasing@fentongiftshop.com and list the names of the items you want to purchase in the subject line. Please include your full name and daytime phone so we may follow-up on your request. We may have customers with the same first name, so we also need a last name for verification.

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.

Fenton Art Glass eBay Auctions. . .

Here's your opportunity to own lovely "one-of-a-kind" Fenton Art Glass creations through our weekly Fenton Art Glass eBay auctions. These Fenton Art Glass eBay auctions will end at 2 p.m. (ET) on Wednesday, December 25. Items featured this week. . .

 

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.
