Basketball Blasts from the Fenton Family's Past. . .
As we root for our favorite team during
"March Madness", we thought we'd share a few "Basketball
Blasts from the Fenton Family's Past." Fenton family
members from the second and third generations have
always enjoyed participating in basketball. Shown below, far left: Frank
M. Fenton stood 6' 7" tall when he played basketball for
Marietta College in 1933-34. He was fond of saying that
he was actually "5 foot 19 inches".
Frank's son Tom recalls the basketball backboard on
the edge of their paved driveway with bushes beyond. "We
played a lot,"
he said. "One on one or 2-on-2. Dinner waited while we tried
to get to 11 baskets, or 15, or whatever was 'game.'" Robust
competition often landed a Fenton among the evergreens, amidst
laughter and references to the "bush dragons" claiming yet
another victim.

The "Fenton Five" (back row and
first on bottom left) pose with some of their
teammates after winning an Industrial League
Championship game in the Marietta Recreation Department
League in the 1970s. Other team members included Fenton
employees. |
Imagine this starting lineup in the
1970s: Mike Fenton, 6 foot 6; Tom Fenton, 6 foot 4; George
Fenton, 6 foot 4; Don Fenton, 6 foot 1; and Randy
Fenton, 6 foot even. Yes, the five third-generation
Fenton men were together on the court when they played
basketball in the Marietta City League on a team
sponsored by . . . who else? . . . the Fenton Art Glass
Company! Can you name and place the "Fenton Five" in the
photo?
Fenton Gift Shop Taking Orders

Limited Editions. For a limited time, Fenton Gift Shop
is now taking orders on each of these selections. Orders
will be accepted on these two pieces until midnight (ET) on Monday, March 23rd, 2015.
These pieces were handcrafted in Buttercream glass, a color
wonderfully reminiscent of the Chinese Yellow color first
popularized by Fenton in the 1920s. Both of these pieces were designed and handpainted by award-winning Fenton designer Frances Burton.
She will sign and date each piece. The
wonderful Bowl on Stand has a lovely vining floral design
surrounding the entire bowl and is $175.00 each and includes
the antique brass stand.
The Chessie Box, priced at $225.00 each, has the adorable Chessie
Cat snuggled in its bed. The back of this box has a barn in
the country scene.
Shown above is a stately and elegant Amphora
with burnished brass stand. The Amphora is handcrafted in Opal
Satin glass by our friends at Davis Lynch using a Fenton mould
and features a beautiful handpainted design by Kim Barley.
This Amphora provides the perfect canvas for Kim's hydrangea
blooms, gold accents and hovering butterfly. This Fenton Gift
Shop limited edition Amphora, with stand, is $295. This
Limited Edition Cobalt Flip Vase, made by our friends at
Mosser Glass using a Fenton mould, features a wonderful winter
handpainted scene of a deer and a cardinal by Robin Spindler.
