This week's featured items include a delightful scene hand
painted by Michelle Kibbe on a seasonal favorite. . . our
6" Pumpkinhead Figurine.
The design on the front of this Opal Satin
figurine includes a quartet of black cats that appear to
be intently observing a grinning pumpkin trio. Michelle
included large seasonal flowers, a blue checked cape and
an expressive face (note the long eyelashes). Another
black kitty peeks around a smiling pumpkin on the back
side.
The mould for "Pumpkinhead" was designed by
sculptor Suzi Whitaker and joined Fenton's cast of
colorful Halloween characters in 2007.
Each Curious Kitties Pumpkinhead Figurine is
$115.
Right: Throughout the years, Fenton
Art Glass developed interesting products especially for
the holidays. Our first Halloween offerings in 2002
included a Witch figurine designed by sculptor Jon Saffell
(now retired). Our Witch is part of the Halloween holiday
tradition for many Fenton fans as well as a favorite piece
to paint for Fenton artist Kim Barley. Fans of Kim's
whimsical style will want to add this delightful figurine
to their collection!
The hand painted details on this 6.5" Opal
Satin figurine include a ghoulish green face with eerie
staring eyes, a grinning pumpkin, potion bottles, and a
stack of books labeled "BOOK OF MAGIC" with a large brown
spider on top. The witch has a brown bag labeled "Boo"
that is filled with magic wands.
Each Book of Magic Witch Figurine is $115.

The elegant shape of this 10.75"Opal Satin
Vase provides a beautiful glass canvas for Michelle
Kibbe's vibrant male Cardinal and lush pink Rhododendron
blossoms. Large clusters of blooming Rhododendron encircle
the vase.
Michelle added a pasture field with a
rustic barn and fence and a mountain range in the
background. The soft green landscape provides an excellent
frame for the Cardinal and Rhododendron flowers. This
lovely vase would make a unique keepsake gift for someone
special or perfect treat for yourself. . . Hint: Mother's
Day is May 10!
Did you know. . . The Northern
Cardinal is one of the most well known birds in America.
The male Cardinal marks out his territory with song.
During courtship, the male will feed seeds to the female
"beak-to-beak".
The Rhododendron was designated as the
official West Virginia State Flower in 1903 and in
Washington State in 1892.
Rhododendron grows in cooler climates and
has large beautiful, fragrant flowers and ornamental
leaves. The name of this flower is derived from the Greek
words for rose (rhodos) and tree (dendron).
Each
Cardinal Rhododendron Vase is $165.
Pre-orders for the
Curious Kitties Pumpkinhead Figurine, Book of Magic
Witch Figurine and the
Cardinal Rhododendron Vase

The Alley Cat is among the most collectible
items in Fenton history. This whimsical 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!
This 11" Opal Satin Alley Cat features a
detailed design of a "Geoffroy's Cat" by Robin Spindler.
The hand painted details are true-to-life and meticulously
executed.
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 many decorative treatments.
Each Geoffroy's Alley Cat Figurine is
$190.
Did you know. . .
The Geoffroy Cat is small with a uniformly patterned
coat of small black spots of nearly equal size and
spacing. These solitary felines are found in Argentina,
Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Paraguay, and Uruguay.
Below: The perfect companion piece
for the Geoffroy's Alley Cat is Robin's matching design on
our 10.25" Opal Satin Vase. The hand painted detail on the
cat is simply adorable.
Robin added an extra splash of color to
this vase by creating large flowers and butterflies with
vibrant tie-dye patterns. Gemstone accents provide extra
sparkle on the body of the two fluttering butterflies next
to the Geoffroy's Cat. Each Geoffroy's Cat Vase
is $180.

Above: Kim Barley continues her whimsical designs
with this "Boo Y'all" Opal Satin 4" Iceberg Paperweight. A
ghost holds onto a pumpkin which bears the hand lettered
"Boo Y'all" message. Kim added a long leafy vine, a large
spider web with a dangling purple spider sporting large
googly eyes as well as gold and white star accents to
complete this fun design.
Each Boo Y'all Paperweight is
$80.
Left: 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. This
latest Limited Edition Fairy Light is no exception!
Michelle Kibbe created a beautiful
Dragonfly and floral motif on this 4.75" Opal Satin Fairy
Light. Michelle airbrushed the base in a pale yellow to
complement the hand painted yellow and purple flowers on
the shade. She added a thin band in yellow-gold
around the top of the shade.
Two dragonflies alight on the thin green
stems. Note those lovely and delicate iridescent wings.
Additional views of this Fairy Light are shown below.
Each Dragonfly
Fairy Light is $95.

Here's a great opportunity to
acquire a splendid Fenton Art Glass one-of-a-kind
Chocolate glass vase (10.25" tall) that combines
the hand painting talents of Michelle Kibbe with
the sandcarving skills of Cathy Mackey. Michelle's
hand painted
Bald Eagles are true to life, as these majestic
birds seem to keep watch over Cathy's sandcarved
depiction of a church in one area of the vase and
perch with mountains in the background in another
area of the vase. Viewed from any angle, this vase
really makes a statement! This one-of-a-kind hand
painted and sandcarved vase is identified, dated
and signed on the underside with the personal
signature of Cathy Mackey as well as "hand painted
by M. Kibbe 2020 OOAK". This vase also has the
personal signature of longtime Fenton Art Glass
vice-president/factory manager Tom Fenton (TK
Fenton). |
Fenton artist Kim Barley enjoys
Halloween, and this one-of-a-kind hand painted Opal
Satin glass Doll figurine (7" tall) really channels
Kim's enthusiasm for the holiday celebration! From the
ghoulish green body makeup and the spider web clutched
in its hands to the grinning pumpkins, the "scaredy"
cat, and the witch's pointed hat, this Doll is
definitely
more than ready for "Trick or Treat" night in October!
Note the stars and the careful lettering on the bow of
the Doll's colorful, multi-hued dress.
With Easter soon to come, this adorable one-of-a-kind
hand painted Opal Satin glass Bunny figurine (3.5"
tall) by Fenton artist Michelle Kibbe is sure to find
a happy home in someone's collection. Michelle's
careful airbrushing created the warm brown look of the
Bunny's body, and darker tones on the face really set
off those remarkably lifelike hand painted eyes! The
green/white-dotted bowtie is a perfect touch to
complement the pink tones in the hand painted floral.
These
official Fenton Art Glass eBay auctions will
