Right: Michelle Kibbe created a
delightful design of a black kitty and colorful sunflowers on our
6" Opal
Satin Pumpkinhead figurine. The kitty looks like it may be
attempting to climb in to the patchwork bag being held by the
Pumpkinhead.
The head is painted in a vibrant
orange with green top and an even brighter orange carrot nose.
Michelle added a wide smile and laughing eyes. This figurine is
adorned in bright blue
with a black checkerboard with large sunflowers. Moon, star and
polka dot accents complete the look for the top half of this
Pumpkinhead.
Additional views are shown below. The mould for
this figurine was designed by sculptor Suzi Whitaker.
"Pumpkinhead" joined Fenton's cast of colorful Halloween
characters in 2007. Michelle's design is sure to bring a smile
no matter what the season. . . perfect to display all year
long!
Each Sunflower Kitty Pumpkinhead Figurine is
$110. |

Throughout the years, Fenton Art Glass developed
interesting products especially for the holidays. Our first
Halloween offerings in 2002 included a Witch figurine designed
by sculptor Jon Saffell. This Fenton Art Glass Witch has become a part of the
Halloween holiday tradition for many Fenton fans. We are
pleased to continue this tradition with new designs by our
talented artists at Fenton Gift Shop.
As many collectors know,
Kim Barley loves Halloween. She continues her whimsical design
style on this 6.25" Opal Satin Witch Figurine. You'll love all
of the adorable hand painted details. . . from the stack of coffee
cups to the hand lettered signs advertising different
brews: Toad Tea, Boo Brew, Lizard Latte, and Monster
Mocha! Note the polka dot and star accents on the witch's
hat and the whimsical kitty with the white tail. Kim also
added the name of this figurine to the large sack in the
witch's hands: "Brew
House". Each Brew House Witch Figurine is $115 |

Michelle Kibbe's "Koi Fish" design on
our 11" Marble Satin Alley Cat is marvelous. The satin
finish of the gray marble glass combined with Michelle's
hand
painted blue and white swirls of water create the perfect
background for these beautiful ornamental fish.
Did you know. . .
The average lifespan of a Koi Fish is 40 years. The
oldest-known Koi was believe to have lived nearly 230
years. The age of a Koi fish is determined by testing the
fish's scales. These scales produce growth rings, similar
to those of a tree.
Among the most collectible
items in Fenton history, the Alley Cat has also been
one of Fenton's most popular items since it was first made in
1970. Fenton collectors just can't seem to get enough of the
Alley Cat's characteristic grin!
The mould for this piece originated at the U.S. Glass Co. in
Tiffin, Ohio during the 1920s and was purchased by Fenton Art
Glass in the mid-1960s. Since that time, this Alley Cat has
been made in a rainbow of colors and decorative treatments.
Each
Koi Fish Alley Cat Figurine is $180. |

Our 2.75" Opal Satin Mouse figurine shown
above features all the delightful "Good Luck" symbols of St. Patrick's
Day! Michelle Kibbe's
design includes a large
four leaf clover and a horseshoe inside the ears. She added
another cluster of clovers on top of the mouse's head.
Michelle adorned this figurine in a bright green and
yellow suit with green bowtie and brown shoes with golden
buckles! Note those large blue eyes! Did you know. . .
Lore holds that St. Patrick used the shamrock's three
leaves to represent the Holy Trinity — the Father, the Son
and the Holy Ghost. They are also known to represent
faith, hope and love. The four leaf clover variety is a
symbol of good luck.
Each Good Luck Mouse Figurine is $80.
Kim Barley created a colorful scene
featuring sunflowers
and chickadees on our 6.5" Ruby Satin Tree. Large,
colorful sunflowers adorn all sides of this figurine. Kim
added three chickadees, each one perched on a branch near
light red berries. Leaves in a lustrous green color
provide vibrant accents for this figurine. The first Fenton Tree
(5535) was offered in the 1992 Christmas catalog
supplement. The 6.5" tree was created by designer Cathy
See and was initially offered in Ruby, Green with iced
branches and iridized crystal. Two smaller trees were added
a year later.
Each Chickadees & Sunflowers Tree Figurine is
$80.

from the vivid red male Cardinals, to the snow covered
