American glass manufacturers have produced eggs since the early 1900s. The Fenton Art Glass "5140" Egg on Stand was produced in many colors and patterns during the 1970s and 80s. Fenton Art Glass began their Collectible Eggs series in 1991. We are pleased to bring back the Egg on Stand with this latest Limited Edition, handcrafted in Opal Satin. Michelle Kibbe transformed the soft white color of this nearly 4" Egg on Stand into a darkened landscape with a star-filled sky. Three silhouetted figures ride their camels, following the brilliant white star. Michelle hand lettered "Wise Men Still Seek Him" around the bottom of the egg shape. Perfect holiday gift for someone special or treat yourself! Each Three Wise Men Egg on Stand Figurine is $75.

Sculptor Jon Saffell designed the (5065) Cat Figurine, known as the Stylized Cat, in 1999, much to the delight of our cat fanciers!

 

We are pleased to offer our latest Stylized Cat in a Ruby Satin finish. This whimsical Snowman design was created by Michelle Kibbe.

 

A smiling snowman celebrates snow with his arm branches raised in joy to catch the falling snowflakes. Note the bright carrot nose, red heart and pink ribbon entwined on the Snowman's stick arms.

 

Michelle hand lettered SNOW along one side of the figurine. She added a cross-hatch pattern scarf in gold and red colors that complements the amber colored eyes and golden features on the cat's face. Each SNOW Stylized Cat Figurine is $95 and will be limited to 14.

The rich blue of this 5.5" Cobalt Round Paperweight provides an excellent canvas for Michelle Kibbe's hand painted design of a brilliant red cardinal, with its characteristic black face mask, perched on a holly tree branch. Michelle framed her scene with a pine and berries border. She added a snowy landscape for the background. Each Cardinal Round Paperweight is $100.

 

Pre-orders for the Three Wise Men Egg on Stand Figurine, the SNOW Stylized Cat Figurine and the Cardinal Round Paperweight will be accepted until midnight (ET) on Monday, November 11, 2019. To place your pre-order for any of these Limited Editions, please call Fenton Gift Shop: 1-800-319-7793, ext. 342 or send an email: purchasing@fentongiftshop.com and include the names of the items you want to purchase in the subject line.

Our 8" Opal Satin Chessie Cat Covered Box features a delightful "Curious Mice" hand painted design by Robin Spindler. A kitten, snuggled in its blanket, is unaware of the curious mice sneaking a peek at the napping feline. Robin painted lovely autumn- colored leaves on the lid and as the background on the Chessie box. Note the pink ears and snappy black eyes of the mice!

 

This popular "Chessie" cat character was used as a symbol of the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway with their advertising slogan that when traveling on their railway you would "sleep like a kitten". In addition to the artist's signature, the base of this box is embossed with the words "Chessie by Fenton".

Note the inset photo with Robin's signature.
The inside is shiny, while the outside has been satin finished. Each Curious Mice Chessie Cat Covered Box is $150.

We are pleased to offer a new design for our "butter tub", made by Mosser Glass. Before refrigerators were used in households, butter was stored in a round or rectangular covered dish. This version is handcrafted in Opal glass, with a satin finish on the outside and a glossy interior. This 4.5" x 4.5" Covered Box is versatile. Use it as a treasure box to store your precious keepsakes or as a candy box. . .or think "outside the box" and discover a new use for this beautiful Limited Edition! Michelle Kibbe was thinking outside the "design" box when she created a stylized Zebra motif for this set! Her design of a Zebra with white stripes encircles the box. Michelle added white bands with black polka dot accents and narrow pink banding as a frame. Note the golden brown eye. The lid sports black stripes against a pink background that has large pink and white flower accents. Each Stylized Zebra Covered Box is $90.

 

Pre-orders for the Curious Mice Chessie Cat Covered Box and the Stylized Zebra Covered Box will be accepted until midnight (ET) on Wednesday, November 13, 2019. Please call Fenton Gift Shop: 1-800-319-7793, ext. 342 or email: purchasing@fentongiftshop.com and include the names of the items you want to purchase in the subject line. Please include your full name and daytime phone number so we may follow-up on your request. We may have people with the same first name, so we also need a last name for confirmation of the order.

Fenton Art Glass eBay Auctions. . .
Here's your opportunity to own a lovely and unqiue "one-of-a-kind" Fenton Art Glass creation through our weekly Fenton Art Glass eBay auctions. These Fenton's eBay auctions will end at 2 p.m. ET on Wednesday, November 13th. Items featured this week. . .

Here's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to acquire a great one-of-a-kind hand painted Alley Cat figurine (11"tall) by award-winning Fenton designer Robin Spindler. The glass color is "Georgia Blue," and this is the ONLY example of this interesting glass color that will be hand painted with this spectacular underwater seascape. Her design includes depictions of undersea life, from Bottlenose Dolphins, a Zebra Moray Eel, a Sea Turtle and a small school of fish, along with beautiful Coral and various colorful floral and fauna. Note the interesting way that Robin used the cat's tail to create the striped black and yellow pattern for that eel! Robin added a unique tint to the Alley Cat's ears and nose. Among the most collectible items in Fenton history, the Alley Cat has been one of Fenton's most popular items since it debuted in 1970. Fenton collectors just can't seem to get enough of the Alley Cat's characteristic grin! The Alley Cat mould originated at the U.S. Glass Co. in Tiffin, Ohio during the 1920s and was purchased by Fenton Art Glass in the mid-1960s.

Fenton artist Michelle Kibbe’s talents and hand painting skills are really showcased on this 8.75” tall one-of-a-kind vase in Opal Satin glass. The Winter scene is just perfect, as a cute kitten snug and warm inside a home looks upward to see a pair of Cardinals perched on a snow-covered pine bough just outside a window. All the hand painted details are meticulously executed, and the vivid colors really make a statement! Note the red holiday candle and green holly leaves/red berries on the reverse side of the vase.

Here’s a great opportunity to acquire an historic item from the Fenton Art Glass line that was hand painted by a valued, longtime employee who was a decorator for the glass company and later worked for the Fenton Gift Shop. This two-piece fairy light has a ruby glass shade and a crystal glass base that was modeled after the famous Clarke fairy lights that were made in England in the 1880s. The hand painted ruby shade has the hand painted decoration called “Holly on Ruby” when it debuted in the Fenton line beginning in 1972. The ruby shade is signed inside: “hand painted by Pam A.” At the time, this was Pamela Alexander, and she later became known as “Pam Dick” after her marriage to another Fenton employee. Pam Dick was an active participant in many Fenton collector club conventions, and she traveled to many cities in the USA for Fenton sales presentations. Fenton Gift Shop president Randy Fenton has added his signature to the inside of the shade. These Fenton's eBay auctions will end at 2 p.m. ET on Wednesday, November 13th.
