Right: Our 8" Opal Satin Chessie Cat
Covered Box is perfect for storing treats and goodies!
Add Michelle Kibbe's hand painted design of
adorable bunnies and mice and it's sure to be popular with the
young and young-at-heart.
Michelle created a soft background in Spring
colors and added pinstriping and polka dots on the lid. She
also added leaves and petite blue berries as accents.
While the small white kitten snuggles in the
blue blanket, a bunny peeks around it at a brown-eyed mouse
holding a wee carrot. The cat's golden eyes are partially
open, perhaps sensing the small critters nearby.
Michelle hand painted a mouse and bunny on the back
side of this box too. Note those big brown eyes and sweet
expressions on the animals. Additional views of this Chessie
Cat Covered Box are shown in the bottom photo.
This popular "Chessie" cat character was used
as a symbol of the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway. They used this
artwork with their advertising slogan, suggesting 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".
Each Bunnies 'n Mice Chessie Cat Covered Box is
$150.

We're pleased to offer our Owl Figurine in
one of the newer glass colors . . . Eggplant.
This lovely color is perfectly suited for
the splendid scenes created by our talented Fenton Gift
Shop design team.
Michelle Kibbe chose to depict a Dutch
Windmill as the theme for her hand painted design on this
5.5" satin finished figurine.
The large Dutch Windmill, set amongst a
lush green and shoreline landscape, graces the front
portion of the owl figurine. Note the dark green plants rising
out of the blue water on the base of the figurine.
Michelle added large blue-white floral
designs on the wings and on top of the head. Petite white
polka dot accents highlight the blue and white eyes.
Did you know. . . The typical Dutch
Windmill, also called the "Tower Type", has a huge tower
of stone, brick or wood. The oldest Mill in Holland dates
back to the 8th Century.
Each Dutch Windmill Owl Figurine is $95. |
Our popular 3.5" Eggplant Bear Figurine is even more
adorable with Kim Barley's hand painted "Daisy Bee"
design.
A black and yellow buzzing bee adorns the
small white patch on front of the bear's purple shirt. A
large white daisy headband adorns the bear's head. The
bear is holding another daisy in one paw. Kim added white
polka dot accents on the ears on one paw.
As always, Kim created a fabulous whimsical
design for the face, complete with green eyes with long
black lashes and a pink heart-shaped nose!
Note all the views of this cute figurine in
the photos shown at right. Each Daisy Bee Bear Figurine is $80.

We are pleased to offer another unique, new design for our "butter tub",
made by Mosser Glass.
Before refrigerators were used in households, butter was
stored in a round or rectangular covered dish.
This version is handcrafted in Black Raspberry glass, with a satin
finish on the outside and a glossy interior. This
versatile 4.5" x
4.5" Covered Box may be used as a treasure box to
store precious keepsakes or as a candy box. . . or
think "outside the box" and discover a new use for this
beautiful Limited Edition!
Kim Barley's wonderful hand painted "Rock
and Roll" motif on this Covered Box is definitely
designing "outside the box"!
As many of you know, Kim is a super fan of
a certain Rock and Roll legend, (initials are "EP"). She
honors one of his popular hit songs with this design.
Musical notes represent the opening lines of a love
song... the red hearts are a hint to the title! The lid is
painted to represent an LP on a record player. Kim hand
lettered "ROCK AND ROLL" as well as the years 1950, 1960,
1970 on the handle. The keyboard and musical notes
encircle the box. We're sure this Covered Box is sure to
start many an interesting conversation!
Each Rock and Roll Covered Box is $90. |
Michelle Kibbe hand painted this 4" Opal Satin Stretching Cat
figurine in natural brown-gray tones.
A black and white
"cat" mask adorns the face. Michelle added spider webs,
leaves and pumpkins. Perhaps this cat is prowling through a
pumpkin patch on a cool autumn evening while seeking tricks and treats!
This figurine will make the perfect gift for the cat enthusiast or
figurine collector.
Each Masked Kitty & Pumpkins Stretching Cat
Figurine is $80. |

Sculptor Jon Saffell designed the Ghost,
which debuted in the Fenton Halloween line in 2002.
Collectors were quick to embrace the latest Halloween
figurine. Kim Barley created another great whimsical
Halloween design that is fun and colorful. She hand
lettered "PEEK A BOO!" on the front with several
expressive pairs of "peeking" eyes framing the words. A
haunted house is set against a full moon amidst an
orange/purple background that includes a ghost and blue
stars. Note the candy corn nose, spiral eyes and laughing
expression on the face of this ghost. The large purple
witch hat has a black and white striped band matching the
words and a golden star. Kim added a spider web, complete
with dangling spider on the tip of the hat. There's also a
large jack-o-lantern with two black cats inside and a
black cat with orange face. Kim added a tall stylized candy corn on the side of this figurine, which is sure to become a
favorite for your seasonal display!
Each Peek A Boo! Ghost Figurine is $115.
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 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 Michelle Kibbe with a
peacock feathers theme. Michelle transformed the
opalescent colors into shades of purple, gold and blue
with banding accents. Colorful peacock feathers dominate
the glass canvas of this ornament. See the second image
above
where Michelle added her signature and the "2020" date.
This is a beautiful design on a lovely hand blown ornament
. . . and you can display this Limited Edition all year! Each Peacock Feathers Ornament is $65.

Here's your opportunity to own a lovely

Items
featured this week. . .
Here's a spectacular, one-of-a-kind
hand painted Alley Cat (10.75" tall) from
award-winning Fenton designer Robin Spindler. The
Alley Cat is Fenton’s Ruby glass, and Robin's creative
design of "Buckin' Broncos" features a scene of
Palomino horses and a cowpoke being tossed from the
saddle ... all watched by a colorful rodeo clown. The
Alley Cat is an all-time favorite among Fenton Art
Glass collectors since its introduction in 1970. This
Alley Cat mould originated at the U. S. Glass Co. in
Tiffin, Ohio, during the 1920s.
With opaque Chameleon Green glass for her canvas,
award-winning Fenton designer Kim Barley designed and
hand painted this attractive, one-of-a-kind 6" tall
Flip Vase. The vivid colors of the hand painted
flowers really stand out from the background glass
color, so this vase makes quite a statement! Note the
swirls of color in the glass. As you can see from the
photos, the floral motif completely encircles the
vase, so it's a real showpiece from any angle! The
hand painted texture and intricate details are
meticulously done, from each flower petal to the
delicate tendrils and foliage. Note the interior
diamond optic pattern inside the vase, too. This
one-of-a-kind hand painted Chameleon Green Flip Vase
is identified, signed and dated on the underside: "Kim
Barley 2020 OOAK".
The "Princess" and the "Pirate" are ready to go out
for "trick or treat," and this delightfully cute pair
of hand painted, one-of-a-kind figurines from Fenton
artist Michelle Kibbe are sure bring smiles to all
those who enjoy Halloween fun. The figurines are
handcrafted in Opal Satin glass. The Princess stands
4.75" tall while the Pirate is 4.5" tall. Note all the
wonderful hand painted details: the brown-eyed Pirate
is clad in red/white striped trousers and sports a
black vest with skull & crossbones, while the
blue-eyed Princess looks regal in pink with a pearl
necklace. The Princess carries a pumpkin for treats,
while the Pirate clutches a floral bouquet (perhaps he
hopes to impress the Princess?). Each hand painted,
one-of-a-kind figurine is identified, dated and signed
on the underside: "hand painted by M. Kibbe 2020
OOAK". These Fenton Art Glass eBay auctions will
end at 2 p.m. ET on Wednesday, February 5, 2020. |
