Editions!

Above: Michelle Kibbe chose the
petite Northern Saw-whet Owl as her subject for this 7"
tall by 5.5" wide Cobalt Iceberg Paperweight, handcrafted
by Mosser Glass. The rich blue color of the glass provides
the perfect canvas for Michelle's wonderful rendition of
this little owl. The owl is perched on a pine cone covered
branch with a full moon and pine tree landscape in the
background. Note those adorable golden eyes!
Did you know. . . Northern saw-whet owls are the
smallest owls in eastern North America and are about the
same size as an American robin. Speckles and stripes in
the feathers of Northern Saw-whet owls provide camouflage
when they are roosting and hunting.
Each Saw-whet Owl Iceberg Paperweight is $110.
Right: A colorful dragonfly adorns
the tail area of this 4.25" Opal Satin Fox Figurine.
Michelle Kibbe's hand painted design also includes flower
blooms in a raspberry hue with green leaves. A single
flower adorns the top of the head as well as a stem on the
other side. Note
those black eyes and black tipped ears! The photo below
shows additional views of this figurine. The figurine has
a light brown background with green tones on the painted
area. Each
Dragonfly Fox Figurine is $80. |

Kim Barley continues her popular Halloween
theme with her "Beware" hand painted design on our 11"
Opal Satin Alley Cat.
You'll delight in all of the whimsical details... from the
skeleton and bat to the rustic stone house with the word
"BEWARE" on the door to the black cat on the witch's
broom. A witch hat is attached to the broom handle. The
bottom area of the figurine is painted in dark green with
a blend of purple and white hues above.
Kim added gray accents and whiskers to the face. Note
those bright orange and black eyes edged in purple, purple
nose and that smile with pointy front teeth!
The Alley Cat is among the most collectible
items in Fenton history and 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.
Each Beware Alley Cat Figurine is $185. |

Robin Spindler continues to channel another
era with her latest "tie-dye" design. For this week's
Limited Editions, Robin chose to paint her popular design
on our Opal Satin Santa figurine.
She airbrushed and hand painted the 8" tall figurine,
resulting in an amazing blend of multi-colored
brushstrokes producing the "tie-dye" pattern.
You'll love the vibrant shades of blue,
red, yellow, orange, green, and pink. We're sure this
figurine will appeal to the young as well as the
young-at-heart!
The scroll in Santa's hand has the words
"Peace on Earth" hand lettered on it and also includes a
gem accent. Santa has bright blue eyes with long
eyelashes. The robe has white fur trim and a blue and
white striped cord.
If you recently ordered Robin's Tie-Dye
design on the Vase, as well as the Bear, Dino, Toad, and
Turtle figurines, then you'll want to add this Santa as a
companion piece for your "Tie-Dye" collection.
Each Tie-Dye Santa Figurine is $125. |

We're pleased to offer another
Halloween-themed design for a seasonal decorating
favorite, the Pumpkinhead Figurine.
Kim Barley's fun design features several
interesting elements, including the cat whiskers on the
pumpkin's face! Note those arched eyebrows above the
orange and black eyes and that big grin!
Kim added a stack of pumpkins hand painted
with unique motifs in white, black, orange and yellow.
Other whimsical details include an unusual and colorful
witch's hat, a black house that has googly eyes, and
turquoise sneakers peeking out from underneath the gown!
Kim also hand lettered "Trick or Treat Oct.
31" on the treat bag with a grinning face and black bat
silhouette design.
Sculptor Suzi Whitaker designed the mould
for this figurine and "Pumpkinhead" joined Fenton's cast
of colorful Halloween characters in 2007.
Each Mr. Whiskers Pumpkinhead Figurine is $110. |
Our 4" Opal Satin Turtle Figurine sports a vibrant,
artistic design by Michelle Kibbe that includes swirls,
flowers, lattice, stripes, and other patterns. She created
the black dots using a "stipple" technique with the end of
a paintbrush. The body is airbrushed in a nice blend of
orange and purple. Michelle added realistic look to the
feet, tail and head of this turtle figurine. Note the
smiling expression on the face! Each
Stipples & Swirls Turtle Figurine is $80.
|
Cat enthusiasts and figurine collectors
will want to add "Cranky Cat" to their collection! Kim
Barley's hand painted design on our 3.75" Opal Satin
Sitting Cat figurine resembles a petite feline internet
celebrity that had a permanent grumpy expression due to
its "under bite" teeth alignment.
Our "Cranky Cat" figurine has big blue eyes
with white whiskers. The downward turn of the mouth makes
this figurine even more adorable! The body is painted in
soft brown, black, gray and white tones.
Each Cranky Cat Figurine is $80.
Pre-orders for the
Tie Dye Santa, Mr. Whiskers Pumpkinhead, Stipples & Swirls Turtle,
and Cranky Cat Figurines
will be accepted until midnight on Wednesday, February 12,
2020.

This unique, one-of-a-kind Chocolate
glass vase (10" tall) features both meticulous
sandcarving by Cathy Mackey and
exquisite hand painting by Fenton artist Michelle
Kibbe. Cathy's intricate sandcarved scene depicts
rolling hills, leafy trees and foliage as well as a
shaft of sunlight shining down on a church in the
distance (can you see the steeple?). Michelle's hand
painted Bluebirds are true to life in every way ...
from the male and female couple on the front of the
vase to the bachelor male on the reverse side!
Michelle's hand painted flowers and berries have the
look of an impressionistic artwork by Monet! Chocolate
glass was first perfected in 1900 by Jacob Rosenthal,
and he became Fenton's first factory manager in 1906.
This interesting color reveals various shades during
the sandcarving process, as you can see in the photos.
This unique, one-of-a-kind hand painted vase is
identified, dated and signed on the underside: "hand
painted by M. Kibbe 2020" and it is also personally
signed by both Cathy Mackey and longtime Fenton Art
Glass Co. vice-president and factory manager Tom
Fenton.
This 8" Lighthouse was handcrafted in Opal Satin glass
(5" base) and crystal (3" top), using Fenton Art Glass
moulds that were not used for production before
glassmaking halted at the Fenton Art Glass factory in
2011. Award-winning Fenton artist J. K. “Robin”
Spindler created an intriguing one-of-a-kind scene
featuring a Lighthouse and two Seagulls on this 8”
Opal Satin Lighthouse Fairy Light. Her remarkable
design encircles the vase. The hand painted details
are meticulously executed. White pinpoints of stars
fill the night sky high above the raging waters filled
with foamy waves. The windows of the lighthouse
keeper's cottage glow with a warm light as the wide
beam of light shines from the Lighthouse tower. Two
seagulls fly above the foamy seas with a brilliant
white star in the background. You'll also receive a
battery operated tea light that fits perfectly on the
top of the base of this Lighthouse in a recessed area
measuring approximately 1-1/5" diameter.
Fenton artist Michelle Kibbe designed and hand painted
this wonderful one-of-a-kind Opal Satin glass
Pumpkinhead figurine. The Pumpkinhead (note the big
grin!) is true to life with its orange color and green
top. The arms and hands grasp a green drawstring bag
(note those patches!), but the black cat with green
eyes is surely the focal point of this one-of-a-kind
Pumpkinhead figurine! The collar features hand painted
stars and crescent moon accents, and the base has an
attractive checkerboard pattern with yellow/orange
floral accents. These
official Fenton Art Glass eBay auctions will
end at 2 p.m. ET on Wednesday, February 12, 2020. |
