This week's featured items include a hand painted
landscape scene of a Moose in winter by Michelle Kibbe on
our 8.75" Opal Satin Vase.
Michelle created her realistic scene with blue skies and a marvelous
winter
landscape with tall brown and white trees. Note the rustic barn
that sits amongst the trees. A large bull moose with
impressive antlers and watchful eyes rests on the
snow-covered ground.
Did you know. . .
The impressive antlers on the male moose
are actually bone that is an extension of the skull. Their
antlers grow in spring and, at the beginning of each
winter they shed their antlers.
Each Winter Moose Vase is $165.

Collectors have enjoyed the charm of Fenton
fairy lights for more than half a century. The flickering
flame from a small candle inside a Fenton Fairy Light
always seems to warm an entire room. Kim Barley's
"Wisteria Hummingbird" design on our 4.75" Opal Satin
Fairy Light will delight collectors as well as bird
watchers. Her details on the cascading
Wisteria blossoms were created in hues of soft purple,
pink and white for lovely results. A stylized male Ruby-throated
Hummingbird hovers near one of the Wisteria clusters.
Different views of this fairy light are shown above. Note
the top right view with the tea light emitting the soft
glow. A wonderful gift for someone special. . . don't
forget Easter is in April and Mother's Day is in May!
Each Wisteria Hummingbird Fairy Light is
$90 and includes a battery-operated tea light.
We offered an Iceberg Paperweight in a
recent eBay auction that featured a design of a tiger
resting on a branch above the water. Since then we've
had requests for something similar to be offered as a
Limited Edition selection. Your requests have been heard!
Michelle Kibbe created another version on this 5.5" w.
crystal Iceberg Paperweight (made by Mosser Glass). This
version has a large male tiger at the watering hole. The
tiger appears alert as if it detected movement or heard a
noise. Note those mesmerizing golden eyes! Michelle added
green leaves as accents to frame the scene.
Each Tiger Iceberg Paperweight is $100.

The impressive size of this 11.5" Opal
Satin Vase provides the perfect glass canvas for Robin
Spindler's spectacular hand painted "Fox Kits" design.
The hand painted details are beautiful to
behold, from the lush rose-pink blossoms to the delicate
butterflies. Robin added a few gemstone accents to the
butterflies for extra sparkle.
The fox kits are curious and seem to be checking
out those fluttering butterflies, while the mother keeps an
eye on their activities.
Did you know. . .
The female fox is called a “vixen” and the
male fox is called a “dog fox” or a “tod”. The baby foxes
are called “pups”, “kits” or “cubs” and are born between
March and May. A group of foxes is called a “skulk” or a
“leash”.
Each
Fox Kits Vase is $210. |

Here's the perfect companion piece for the
Fox Kits Vase shown above. . . our 4.25" Natural Fox! This
figurine is handcrafted in Caramel glass, which provides
excellent background coloring for the body and the hand painted details by
Robin Spindler. Note those golden-brown eyes!
Each
Natural Fox Figurine is $80.
Kim Barley created this fabulous and
fun whimsical Halloween design for our 5.75" Ghost
figurine. This version is hand painted on Caramel
glass. Note the interesting color swirls, especially on
the back. Kim added blue tones as the background on the top half,
leaving the bottom half in rich Caramel glass, perfect for
her "DEAD END" and the green spotted frog
peeking above the green carved gourd.
Each Oct. 31
Dead End
Ghost Figurine is $115.

Michelle Kibbe's recent design (February 7
newsletter) of a dragonfly was so popular that she decided
to continue it on our 3.5" Sitting Bear figurine. The Opal
Satin has been airbrushed to a soft skin tone. The
delicate dragonfly adorns the top of the head in hues of
purple, pink white, and black.
Michelle created colorful pink and yellow
blossoms over the front area and added another bloom on
the back. Note the adorable expression and those eyes!
This adorable figurine is sure to please the young and the
young-at-heart.
Each
Dragonfly Sitting Bear Figurine is $80.

Shown, far left: Designed
and sand carved by cameo glass artists Kelsey
Murphy and Robert Bomkamp, this Persimmon glass
vase (10.75" tall)
is a thing of beauty! Titled
"Morning Sun," the vase features a highly detailed
scene of trees
and ground foliage as well as geese
in flight.
Persimmon is a cased glass,
having milk
glass
on the interior and ruby glass on the
exterior.
|
Sand carving is a difficult, labor
intensive process involving design work to conform to
the shape of the vase, followed by masking the surface
to lay out the design. The cameo artist uses aluminum
oxide crystals under pressure to take away some of the
outer layer of glass, and this meticulous process
creates both the intricate design and the varying
tones of orange and yellow that you can see in the
photos. On the underside, this vase has the words
"Morning Sun" as well as the Fenton USA logo and the
signatures of Kelsey Murphy and Robert Bomkamp. Fenton
Gift Shop president/treasurer Randy Fenton has also
personally signed this vase.
Perfect for Spring, this one-of-a-kind stylized Cat
figurine (5" tall) in hand painted Opal Satin glass by
Fenton artist Michelle Kibbe is a real sight to
behold! The lush, multi-colored flowers are a perfect
complement to the remarkably lifelike hand painted
Bluebird that is perched on a branch ... we can almost
hear its delightful song to welcome Spring.
We are pleased to offer a unique design by Fenton
artist Kim Barley for this "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 Covered Box. Award-winning
Fenton artist Kim Barley's wonderful hand painted
"Rock and Roll" motif on this Covered Box is
definitely designing "outside the box"! 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, and 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.
These
official Fenton Art Glass eBay auctions will
end at 2 p.m. ET on Wednesday,
March 4, 2020. |
