This spectacular vase is surely one of Fenton glass artisan Dave
Fetty's absolutely finest works! Using a Milk Glass core and Ruby
glass for his special touches, Dave has created four perfect
hearts, four areas of pulled feathers, and the topmost edge. There
is only one word for the total effect of Dave's efforts: WOW! This
vase stands 11" tall and is embossed with Dave's personal stamp.
This piece also has Dave's signature, and he has even added the
specific date this Hearts and Feathers vase was created: "3-9-06".

by JACK BOGACZYK, Charleston Daily Mail, Charleston, WV
The Friends of Coal wanted "unique" to be
the best way to describe the momentous memento being created for the
resumption of the West Virginia-Marshall football series.
Well, the trophy designed and
painstakingly manufactured for the Mountain State rivalry fits
Webster's definition -- single, having no like or equal.
There's only one of them . . . so no one
had better drop it.
It's called the Governor's Trophy, etched
with the seal of the state's top executive, and it goes to the winner
of the Sept. 2 game at Mountaineer Field. It speaks of the game's
sponsor and the state's natural resources, craftsmen and artisans.
It stands nearly 2 feet, weighs about 60
pounds, and is made of crystal glass and coal, sitting on a carbon
base. A hand-blown crystal football (nearly regulation size),
intricately etched with laces and stripes, holds 5 gallons of
pulverized coal.
"The trophy is made of probably 98 percent
West Virginia materials," said Rick Mogielski, the trophy's designer.
"From the start, we wanted to use materials from the state and West
Virginia artisans as much as possible. The work was 100 percent done
by West Virginians.
"After our first meeting, we felt like the game and industry deserved
something unique, something somewhat elegant. It's a big game; glass
makes the trophy more elegant.
"We kept coming back to coal-filled glass. We really didn't know if it
would work."
The Governor's Trophy was to be reviewed by Gov. Joe Manchin this
morning at the State Capitol, then taken to Huntington and an 11:30
a.m. unveiling in the Big Green Room at Edwards Stadium on the
Marshall campus. (complete
