Fenton Presents. . . Beautiful Inspirational Designs

Our handcrafted art glass beads are perfect for Easter and Spring fashions or as an inspirational fashion accessory
to wear all year long. Included in the Heartstrings Collection, these beads were designed by Jena Lane Blair and
Truda "TJ" Mendenhall and feature hand applied decorations coordinating with the glass color of each bead. Three of the beads shown above include a word of inspiration that is hand applied to each bead.

The three-dimensional Hallelujah bead is included in the Whimsy Collection. Painting with molten glass to create beautiful three-dimensional artwork requires a steady hand and keen eye. The bead artisan carefully applies the thread-like strands of glass to the hot bead, being ever watchful not to melt the artwork while maintaining the bead temperature of 900 degrees. Each flower, leaf, animal, or berry is added one at a time, then secured to the bead.


Shown at left are new inspirational designs for 2016. Blessed Assurance and How Great Thou Art each have a hand applied decoration and Here I Am, Lord is a new Vasa Murrhina bead. These beads are included in Fenton Glass Jewelry's Holiday Collection.

 

Each "Collection" comes with a keepsake card listing the special story behind each bead's design. Beads with hand applied decorations are initialed by the talented Fenton artist who completed it. Mix and match to make your personal fashion statement this season!

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 dated, identified and signed by the award-winning Fenton artist who designed it. Shown here are our latest offerings. Items featured this week. . .

Standing a 9.5" tall, this stately one-of-a-kind vase is cased glass (Milk Glass inside with Marigold spray and Robin’s Egg Blue on the exterior). Award-winning artist and designer Frances Burton created and hand painted a splendid colorful Peacock that seems to some to life on the soft satin finish of this remarkable example of the decorator's art! This one-of-a-kind vase is identified, dated and signed by Frances.

 

Fenton Mulberry is a popular and wonderful glass color, and, when decorated by Frances Burton, this one-of-a-kind vase (8.5" tall) takes its place as a spectacular example of Fenton Art Glass. The Mulberry color combines gold ruby glass with azure blue glass, and our glassblowers use their exceptional skills to create the dramatic effect and the rich Mulberry color (note the six-point crimp). The hand painted decoration is a stylized floral motif that encircles the vase (can you spot the flying insects?). This one-of-a-kind vase is identified, dated and signed by Frances.

Here’s a one-in-a-lifetime opportunity to acquire original photographs of one of the most storied periods in the history of Fenton Art Glass, June-July of 1940. The 80-foot tall stack above the 12-pot furnace at the factory collapsed on June 29, 1940. The next several weeks were dedicated to clearing debris so that the factory’s glass production area could be rebuilt. These eight black-and-white photos reveal the aftermath of this event and show some of the initial rebuilding process. These photos are reasonably good snapshots. Four photos are 3.5” x 5.25” and four photos are 2.75” x 3.5”. Company president Frank L. Fenton can been seen in some photos, and we have also identified sales manager Robert C. Fenton, Sr., assistant general manager Frank M. Fenton, and James E. Fenton (the purchaser of these photos will receive identifications for all of those persons we have identified). The photos shown are marked "Property of Fenton Art Glass FPO" but the originals do not have these words printed on them.

Take a look at these offerings and other "Buy It Now" items available on our Fenton eBay Auctions.
