Fenton USA Jewelry Presents. . . Three Dimensional Bead Styles!
Shown below are a few selections of our popular
three-dimensional art glass beads. These distinctive raised
glass designs encircle each bead. According to Fenton jewelry
designer, Jena Lane Blair, "Creating a three-dimensional bead
is like painting with molten glass." Add the hand applied
decoration and the initials of the artist and you have a truly
unique art glass jewelry creation, like no other! Each bead
comes with its own "story card" about the inspiration behind
the design.
In an age of mass production, Fenton Art Glass remains
committed to honoring the tradition of expressive, handmade
creations.
Each Fenton USA bead bears the signature of
handcraftsmanship with those slight variations that convey
distinction, character and charm. The handcrafted Fenton USA glass
bead collection includes many of Fenton's unique
glass colors and historic treatments. Fenton is the only
bead maker creating hand painted beads using high-fired
ceramic glazes, giving Fenton's hand painted beads unmatched
design flexibility and strong durability. Fenton USA beads are designed by lampwork artist Jena Lane Blair.
The distinctive hand painted decorations are created
by Fenton decorator Truda Mendenhall. These beads are compatible with
and will fit most
major necklace and bracelet brands, including our
own
accessory line.
The popularity of the three-dimensional designs
led to the creation of colorful and fun coordinating earrings
(shown above). These glass earrings were handmade at our
factory, and include hand applied decorations and gem accents.
The earwires are sterling silver. Shown above (left-right) are
earrings with hand applied decorations that appear on each
side of the glass bead:
Beach Buddies with a starfish and a crab;
Delightful Dragonfly with a lovely floral design and a
dragonfly; and
Lucky Ladybug with a darling ladybug and colorful
flower blossom. To order any of these items, please click on
the bead or earring image.

Our popular "Let It Snow" design
by Kim Barley returns for 2016, this time on an Opal Satin
Snowman Fairy Light! Kim's whimsical details really set off
this Fairy Light. . . from a tiny blue bird gazing up at the
snowman (sporting a pink scarf and cap) to the snow covered
trees and the garland of bells and stars encircling the entire
figurine. Note the colorful hat band and the "Joy" patch on
the back of the jacket. We've even shown you the soft glow of
the tea light included with each Fairy Light. Each Let
It Snow Snowman Fairy Light is $120.
Left: Handcrafted in Opal Satin with airbrushed
blue highlights, this wonderful 7.25" Square Vase features a
hand painted design by Robin Spindler that she calls "Oceans
Blue." When you look at all four sides of this vase, you can
see why that name is very appropriate!
This vase not only has a sailing ship on one side, but
wonderful underwater scenes hand painted on each panel! You'll
love Robin's meticulous details on the sea creatures,
including a splendid seahorse, a magnificent octopus, as well
as a lobster, crab and sea turtle (see photos below).
Robin also incorporated seaweed, seashells,
coral and more underwater life to complete this design. Each
Oceans Blue Square Vase is $225.

Let It Snow Snowman Fairy Light and the
Oceans Blue Square Vase

Fenton's
Weekly
eBay Auctions. . .
Here's your opportunity to own
a beautiful, unique, rare,
or one-of-a-kind item through our
weekly
eBay Auctions!
Each one-of-a-kind art glass creation is identified,
dated and signed by the award-winning Fenton artist who
designed it.
Shown here are our latest offerings.
Items featured this week. . .
Lotus Mist Burmese, a classic color that
contains pure gold created by Fenton Art Glass about 15
years ago, provides the perfect canvas on this 13.25"
tall vase for a splendid one-of-a-kind hand painted
scene designed by Frances Burton. The rustic cabins and
barn nestled amongst the pines and other trees remind us
of some of our favorite "hideaway" places here in West
Virginia.
With lustrous, satin-finished black glass for her
canvas, Robin Spindler created and hand painted this
remarkable one-of-a-kind vase (10.75" tall). This is
surely one of the most artistic and unusual vases ever
created by Robin, and, as you can see from the picture,
it really makes a statement! More views are
available on our eBay listing. This vase will definitely
start a conversation when on display in your home or
office! The theme incorporates various animals … from
the spots of the leopard and the coat of the zebra to
the majestic elephant and the delicate butterfly! Note
the gemstone accents, too!
Robin chose to depict both meanings of the word "Vixen"
on this magnificent Ruby glass Alley Cat! She's not only
transformed this 11” Alley Cat into a female fox, or
Vixen. . . she then added hand painted details, along
with a gemstone studded collar, to show the "flirty,
mischievous" meaning of this word! Note those ruby red
lips on that all-knowing smile and the colorful blue
accents above the eyes! This Vixen Alley Cat will
definitely get your attention!
Here's a rare opportunity to acquire a tool actually
used in making handmade glassware at the Fenton Art
Glass Co.,
and this example goes back several years. This tool is
15.25" in length, and it was used to "turn out" hot
glass items after the glass had set up and the cast iron
mould was opened. In the first few years of glass
production at Fenton, it was not unusual to have young
fellows 12-13 years old working as "turning-out boys" or
performing other tasks in the glass factory
manufacturing area. The tool operates like a set of
pincers to fit around the glass item and then can be
squeezed to hold it securely and take it away from the
mould. What a great piece of Fenton history! Take a look at these offerings and
other "Buy It Now" items available on our Fenton eBay
Auctions.
