What
Is Fenton International?
A message from George Fenton,
President of Fenton Art Glass Company
A few years ago, we implemented many
changes to recover from the difficulties we faced in 2007. In 2008, we
initiated two brands: Fenton USA and Fenton International. Fenton USA
glass is produced at our historic factory in Williamstown, West
Virginia. The Fenton International line, which consists of glass,
ceramics and other giftware, is imported.
For more than a century, Fenton has been known for our expertise as
producers of fine quality, handcrafted colored
art glass. The colored glass designs now available from Fenton
International are in response to requests for us to
use this expertise to become the premier supplier of colored glass from
around the world as well as from America. Fenton International glass
designs are developed with meticulous care to ensure they bring great
value to consumers. Each Fenton International piece bears the Fenton
International logo. Production quality is checked frequently by members
of the Fenton staff. The Fenton International glass lines will be
available in price ranges and designs that are not possible to achieve
domestically.
Here in Williamstown, West Virginia, we continue to produce colored art
glass in the time-honored manner, by hand, just as we have done since
January 1907. Our large contingent of Fenton collectors continues to
enjoy fine collectible glass under the Fenton USA brand. Incidentally,
we add "USA" to each of our moulds as we use them, either below or
beside the Fenton logo. A small "1" designates pieces made in 2010 and
will continue through 2019.
Fenton dealers across the country have responded well to changes in our
marketing and production schedules. Fenton USA glass items will continue
to be more limited, both in number and in the time available.
