Our 10.25" Opal Satin Vase provides an
excellent glass canvas for Michelle Kibbe's hand painted
winter scene of Canada Geese foraging in the snow. Michelle
airbrushed the base and top in shades of a sunset and added
delicate bands of color to create a frame effect for her
design. The hand painted details, especially on the Canada
Geese are meticulously executed and realistic. Michelle added
a rustic mill with wooden water wheel and winter scrub grass in
the background. Did you know. . . Canada geese will
choose mates when they’re around two years of age. Pairs stay
together for the remainder of their lives, which averages 24
years. Canada Geese usually choose partners that are similar
to their own body size. . . a pattern known as “assortative
mating.”
Each Canada Geese Vase is $175.
This Fenton Art Glass 3.5" diameter crystal
paperweight has been transformed by Michelle Kibbe into the
habitat of a Red-eyed Tree Frog! Her design covers the front
of the paperweight. The back side has been painted in a purple
hue providing the unique background for Michelle's scene of
the Red-eyed Tree Frog clinging to a thin, leafy branch.
Did you know. . . The most poisonous among all
amphibians, the iconic rain-forest Tree Frog sleeps by day,
usually stuck to the bottom of a leaf. When disturbed, it will
flash their bulging red eyes and reveal large, webbed orange
feet and colorful flanks. This technique is called "startle
coloration" and may cause a predator, such as a bird or snake,
to pause. This may allow just enough time for the frog to
spring to safety.
Each Tree Frog Paperweight is $70.
This 11" Caramel Alley Cat features a
hand painted design by Kim Barley of a ruby-throated
hummingbird seeking nectar from a large, purple thistle
flower. The details on the hummingbird are beautiful. Kim
added complementary hues of blue and green on the body as
the background for her scene. More thistle blossoms are
painted on the side of this figurine. Note those wide aqua
eyes, pink nose and the blue-tipped ears.
The Alley Cat is among the most collectible items in
Fenton history. This whimsical figurine with the Alley
Cat's characteristic grin has also been one of Fenton's
most popular items since it was first made in 1970. 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. Each
Hummingbird 'n Thistle Alley Cat Figurine is $185.
Pre-orders for the
Canada Geese Vase, the
Tree Frog Paperweight
and the Hummingbird 'n Thistle Alley Cat Figurine will be accepted until
midnight on Monday,
January 27, 2020.

With Persimmon glass for their
canvas, Fenton artists Cathy Mackey and Michelle
Kibbe combined their efforts on this beautiful
one-of-a-kind vase (10.75" tall).
Cathy Mackey did the
careful masking and the intricate sand carving to
create the leafy trees and the attractive border
at the very top of the vase.
|
Michelle designed and hand painted
the scene featuring three Moose in their native
habitat with grass and scrub trees and gentle rolling
hills in the distant background. Persimmon is cased glass, consisting of
a Milk Glass interior and an outer layer of red glass;
sand carving takes away some of the red glass to
create the vivid yellow/orange you can see in these
photos.
With satin finished Fenton Art Glass Ruby glass for her canvas,
Fenton artist Kim Barley came up with an "outside the Fenton
box" design idea and hand painted this one-of-a-kind 6.5" Pine
Tree. Careful airbrushing created the varying green and red
tones of color in the lower half of the tree that remind one
of a watermelon. The hand painted Blackbirds, with blue
highlights and yellow beaks, peer out from their perches on
the tree branches, and you'll enjoy those big eyes that seem
to look right at you! Note the hand painted leaves, white dots
and other accents on the tree.
Here's Grandma with cookies from the oven!
Award winning Fenton designer Robin Spindler hand painted this
wonderful one-of-a-kind 5.5" Opal Satin glass Pumpkinhead figurine.
The soothing overall lavender color is quite attractive, and
Robin's incredibly intricate hand painted lace cuffs and
collar with gemstone accents are sure to draw gasps of wonder
from all who see this Pumpkinhead figurine. Note the lettering
("Fresh Baked Cookies") on Grandma's apron bag! The five-petal
flowers with yellow centers reflect years of tradition by
Fenton Art Glass artists and decorators. These Fenton Art Glass eBay auctions will
end at 2 p.m. ET on Wednesday, January 29, 2020. |
