Satin Alley Cat. Note the vibrant hand woven brown

Cast a warm and
welcome light in any room with our 8" Lighthouse Fairy
Light. Robin Spindler created a
marvelous underwater scene which includes a sunken ship,
a treasure chest, vivid coral, and stylized Angel fish. Seashells and starfish
decorate the sea floor.
This Lighthouse was handcrafted in Opal
Satin glass (base) and crystal (top) at Fenton
Collectibles using the Fenton Art Glass moulds that were
not used for production before glassmaking halted at
Fenton in 2011. The hand
painted details are meticulous and a tribute to her
talent. Robin added gemstone accents that resemble pearls.
Each Under The Sea Lighthouse Fairy
Light is $130. |

 Fenton Art Glass eBay Auctions. . .
Here's your opportunity to own a beautiful
"one-of-a-kind" art glass creation or an item
from Fenton's past through our weekly eBay auctions.
These auctions will end at noon (ET) on Wednesday, February
14th.
Items featured this week. . .
This splendid, one-of-a-kind hand painted plate (8" diameter)
by Fenton artist Michelle Kibbe captures all the
excitement of a trip to a favorite fishing spot. Delicate
airbrushing and meticulously detailed foliage frame the scene
of a Largemouth Bass as it leaps from from the tranquil water,
seeking to catch a dragonfly. We're holding our breath
until we hear the splash! This plate is Opal Satin glass, and
the accompanying handsome wooden stand is perfect to
display this remarkable item in your home.
Here's a great opportunity to acquire a piece of Fenton Art
Glass history! This 9.25" x 6.25" black-and-white photo
shows the Fenton factory in Williamstown, West Virginia, as it
looked in late 1906 or early 1907, just as glass
production was starting up in the newly built plant. This
historic photo is mounted on lightweight card stock and can
be framed.
Here's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to acquire a tool
actually used in the production of cranberry and cranberry
opalescent glassware at Fenton Art Glass. This is known as a
"casing tool," and it was used by a skilled glassworker
called a "caser." Sitting at his bench, the skilled caser
would cut off a bit of gold ruby glass from a ruby roll and
attach
it to the end of a blowpipe. Using this hand-held tool (11"
long overall), he would shape the ruby bud before the
blowpipe would be taken to other glassworkers who would gather
crystal (or French Opalescent) over the ruby bud in
the next step of the process. The metal part of this tool is
solid brass to resist the heat present in the glassmaking
process. These auctions will end at noon (ET) on Wednesday,
February 14th.
