Fenton Art Glass Auctions Scheduled

Fenton Art Glass and the Fenton Gift Shop have scheduled three auctions during 2014 to sell more than 1,500 items of Fenton glass. Auction date: April 26, June 14 and July 26 at auctioneer Randy Clark's Dexter City Auction Gallery in Dexter City, Ohio.

The remaining auction is July 26 and will feature other Fenton glass from throughout the factory's 106 years of glassmaking history. Watch future newsletter for additional information and photos as they become available.

“Almost all of the glassware will come from the displays now in the Fenton Museum,” said Fenton historian James Measell, who worked with Frank M. Fenton in the mid-1970s when the Fenton Museum was begun. “Frank purchased glass for the museum from private collectors and at auctions, and the museum contains a wide variety of Fenton glass, ranging from items dating back to 1907, rare Carnival glass and offhand ware from the 1920s to Louise Piper handpainted decorations and significant glass colors and decorative treatments from every decade of Fenton glass production. This auction sale will be one of the great events in Fenton glass history, I’m sure.”
