A Gift from the Heart . . . Fenton's Heartstrings Collection
Our Heartstrings Collection celebrates the
love and special bonds you share with your daughter, mom,
grandma, nana, sister, friend, or someone special in your
life. This lovely collection features hand applied
decorations designed by Truda "TJ" Mendenhall.
Shown above are our Heartstrings Collection beads. Those
with more than one decoration show all views for each
bead. Included with every Fenton bead is a story card that bears a personal
message. For example, Granddaughter: " Granddaughters
tickle our hearts.'' and Mom: "You've held my hand, and
will always hold my heart.''
Shown at left are the most recent additions to our
Heartstrings Collection:
Shine Like A Star with a story card that reads: "Be a
Diamond in the Milky Way." and
Your Guardian Angel, with a story card that reads
"Watch for miracles, they happen every day"
Each bead has a sterling silver core
(approx. 3/16" dia.) embossed with Fenton USA. In an age
of mass production, Fenton remains committed to honoring
the tradition of expressive, handmade creations. Each
Fenton Made in America bead bears the signature of
handcraftsmanship; those slight variations that convey
distinction, character and charm. The handcrafted Fenton
glass bead collection includes many of Fenton's unique
glass colors and historic treatments. Fenton is the only
bead maker creating beads using high-fired enamel paints,
giving Fenton's beads unmatched design flexibility and
strong durability. Fenton beads are designed by lampwork
artist Jena Lane Blair with the distinctive hand applied
decorations created by Fenton decorator Truda Mendenhall.
Fenton beads are compatible with and will fit most
major brands of bracelets and necklaces, including
Fenton's line of
handcrafted accessories. Click on each bead image for
details and give a gift from the heart this holiday season
with Fenton USA Jewelry.
Own a bit of Fenton history. . .
Here’s a great opportunity to acquire some
wonderful Fenton Art Glass memorabilia: three different stock
certificates. The stock certificate with the vignette of an Eagle
at the top center (shown top left) was first used to issue
“Preferred Stock” prior to 1910. The stock certificate with the
vignette of a train at the top center was first used to issue
“Capital Stock” in the 1920s. The stock certificate printed in red
tones with the Eagle vignette at top center was first used to issue “Capital Stock” in the
1950s. All of these financial instruments
are blank, and, of course, cannot be used in any sort of financial
transaction today. A limited quantity of these three stock certificates
are available at $40 for the set and free shipping via USPS Priority Mail.
These six black-and-white photos were created from original
postcards or snapshots in the Fenton Art Glass Company
archives. Each 5" x 7" borderless photo is printed on
high-quality photo paper.
This set of six photos is $39 + $5.95 shipping via USPS
Priority Mail and just nine sets are available!
Photo 1. “The Fenton Art Glass Plant” c. 1907. A great
view of the factory made from an original postcard.
Photo 2. “Selecting Room Fenton Art Glass Works”
c.
1907 Made from an original postcard, this photo shows women in
period dress working to select and pack glassware. Lehr “2” is
visible in the background.
Photo 3. Group of men and boys taking a break outside
the factory, c. 1910. These are probably employees from the
glassmaking area. Made from an original snapshot.
Photo 4. “Decorating Room of the Fenton Art Glass
Works” c. 1907. Made from an original postcard, this photo
shows women seated in the decorating work area with lots of
glassware.
Photo 5. Group of 19 employees (men, women and boys)
pose for a snapshot outside the factory. Lots of smiling
faces! One young man is wearing a military-style cap, so we
think this photo dates just after World War I. Made from an
original snapshot.
Photo 6. Group of men and women who worked in the
packing and shipping area taking a break outside the factory.
They are standing and sitting on and around a vintage car
that’s just visible! Made from an original snapshot.

Gift Shop (800-319-7793, ext.

NEW Limited Editions from Fenton Gift Shop. . .
 Fenton Gift Shop is pleased to offer
new Limited Edition selections.
Each piece features
a design
by our award-winning Fenton artists, and will
be hand painted,
signed and dated. Included in this grouping are an 11"
Alley Cat, an Opal Satin 5.5" Ghost and Crown Tuscan 6"
Owl figurine, each handcrafted
in Crown Tuscan, as well as an 12.5" Opal Satin Amphora with
stand.
The Alley Cat, Ghost and Owl figurine were handcrafted by Mosser
Glass and the Opal Satin Amphora with stand was made by Davis-Lynch Glass.
Each of these pieces was made exclusively for the Fenton
Gift Shop, using a Fenton mould.
You can't help but feel ready to go play in
the snow with our Crown Tuscan Alley Cat. The hand painted
design, by Kim Barley, says it all: "Let It Snow!"
featuring a grinning snowman posing in a snowy landscape
with a feathered friend. Kim added whimsical details
to this figurine, and the words "Let It Snow!" go around
the front half.
The snowman's
upraised arm holds a golden star, matching the ones on the
cat's "jingle bells" collar. Note the cute little blue
bird sitting on the front paw, the falling snow and the
snow-covered trees on the left, and the word "joy" on the
stitched pocket patch on the back leg.
Each Let It Snow! Alley Cat
figurine is $250 and limited to just nine pieces!
|
Kim continues her "Let It Snow" theme by transforming our Opal
Satin Ghost figurine into a laughing Snowman! She added her
signature whimsical touch with falling snowflakes, golden
stars, a heart-shaped tree topper and a stylized Cardinal.
Each Let It Snow Ghost figurine is $95.
Pre-orders for the Let It Snow
Alley Cat and the Let It Snow Ghost
figurine will
be accepted until
midnight Monday, November 2nd.

As this Opal Satin Amphora was being carried through the
room for photography,
a number of people stopped to admire the hand painted "Zebra
with Foal" design by Robin Spindler. Robin's decision to
depict a mother Zebra with her young suits this Amphora
perfectly!
Robin airbrushed the background with soft, blue tones, then
added the bold stripes and spots of jungle animals to the top
and bottom plus a large leaf design on the back. Each Amphora
comes with an antique brass finished stand.
Just think what a statement this set will make
when displayed in your home!
Each Zebra with Foal Amphora and stand is $280.
Frances Burton airbrushed the background of this Crown
Tuscan Owl figurine in soft tones, then completed her
design with colorful accents to the eyes and head. Note
the smaller owl perched on a branch! Each
Owl Buddies Owl figurine is $90. Pre-orders for the
Zebra with Foal Amphora with stand and the Owl
Buddies figurine will
be accepted until
midnight on Wednesday, November 4th.
