This week's featured items include the
delightful Snowman Fairy Light shown at right.
Michelle Kibbe's hand painted design on our 7.25" Opal Satin
Snowman Fairy Light includes a fawn at rest,
but ever watchful of her surroundings.
Michelle created a colorful blue top hat
with matching scarf and added white polka dots. Two pine
cones with a sprig of pine provide an attractive accent
for the hat band. This Fairy Light comes with a
battery-operated tea light which emits a soft glow from
the base of this two-part Snowman. See the photo below for
additional views of this charming Limited Edition.
This Snowman Fairy Light was designed by
Fenton sculptor Jon Saffell. Along with the Snowman and
Snowlady figurines, they were in a grouping called "Frosty
Friends" for several years. This Snowman Fairy Light is
sure to become a decorating favorite!
Each
Fawn Snowman Fairy Light is $120 and includes a
battery-operated tea light.

The original mould for this Fawn figurine
was sold to Mosser Glass when the Fenton Art Glass factory
closed. We are pleased to bring it back to the Fenton Gift
Shop product line with a delightful hand painted design by
Michelle Kibbe.
Michelle chose a "natural" look for this
Fawn, which has already lost its spots. The Opal Satin 4.75" long figurine has been
airbrushed in light brown tones with hand painted fur
accents. As always, Michelle's details on the eyes are so
realistic that you may want to reach out and touch it!
This figurine was introduced and included in the Fenton
Art Glass "Natural Animals" collection in the mid-1980s.
Each Natural Fawn Figurine is $80. |

Kim Barley air brushed this 3.5" Opal
Satin Dinosaur figurine in a soft bronze hue and then added
colorful painted accents. Note the large golden eyes that are
highlighted with blue scales, the erupting volcano, the
large blue scales and the vegetation, especially the
interesting tall stems topped with blue polka dots! This
delightful piece will make a great addition to any
figurine collection!
Each Volcano Dinosaur Figurine is $80.
Pre-orders for the
Fawn Snowman Fairy Light, the Natural Fawn and
Volcano Dinosaur Figurines
will be accepted until
midnight on Monday, February 24, 2020.

Robin Spindler continues to channel another
era with her latest "tie dye" design . . . and her fans
have been waiting for her design to be featured on our 5"
Stylized Cat figurine! Robin airbrushed and hand painted
the figurine, resulting in a beautiful blend of
multi-colored brushstrokes that produce the iconic
"tie-dye" pattern. You'll love the vibrant shades of blue,
bright pink, yellow, golden-orange, and green. We're sure
this figurine will appeal to the young as well as the
young-at-heart! If you recently ordered Robin's Tie Dye
Vase, as well as the Dino, Toad, Turtle, and Bear figurines, then you'll want to add
this Stylized Cat as the perfect companion piece for your
"Tie Dye" collection. Fenton Sculptor Jon
Saffell designed the (5065) Cat figurine, known as the
Stylized Cat, in 1999, much to the delight of our cat
fanciers. Each
Tie Dye Stylized Cat Figurine is $95.

This 8" Lighthouse was handcrafted in Opal Satin glass (5"
base)
and crystal (3" top) at Mosser using the
Fenton Art
Glass moulds that were not used for production before
glassmaking halted at Fenton in 2011. Collectors have
enjoyed the charm of Fenton fairy lights for more than
half a century. The flickering
flame from a small candle inside a Fenton Fairy Light
always
seems to warm an entire room.
Michelle Kibbe created a beautiful scene
featuring a ruby-throated hummingbird alighting atop a
large white flower. Michelle's floral
design also includes
greenery and pink blossoms and encircles the base of the
Fairy Light. You'll receive a battery operated tea light
with each Lighthouse that fits perfectly on the top of the
base in
a recessed area measuring approximately 1-1/5" diameter.

Each Ruby-throated Hummingbird
Lighthouse Fairy Light is $125. |

Kim Barley's design on our 4" tall Opal
Satin Snowman figurine brings back memories of a favorite
holiday movie for many of us.
Look closely at the snowman's face and
then look at the reindeer's red nose . . . remind you of
any beloved holiday movie characters? Another hint: Kim
named this figurine "Sam 'n Rudy".
Sam also has a familiar white mustache and
beard with white eyebrows. The hand painted details are colorful and
sure to bring a smile! Sam's top hat has a golden-yellow
band with a holly sprig accent. He sports a black scarf,
green earmuffs with white snowflake design, green plaid vest and an
antique gold watch dangling from a
pocket. A green umbrella with a brown handle rests at his
side.
The young reindeer on the lower front has a
bright red nose and adorable eyes! Kim added a snowy landscape that encircles
the base. A snow covered green tree adorns the back side.
The Snowman and Snowlady figurines,
along with the Snowman Fairy
Light (shown above), were in a popular grouping called "Frosty Friends"
for many years.
Each
Sam 'n Rudy Snowman Figurine is $80. |

This 5.5" Opal Satin Owl figurine is lovely from any
angle! Michelle Kibbe's hand painted design on this
figurine includes a rose colored front with realistic
gray, blue and brown feather details.
The details are meticulously executed.
Michelle's blend of colors suits this figurine perfectly! Note
the green eyes and talons!
Each Rosy Owl Figurine is $95.

Shown, far left: With
Fenton's Ruby glass as her canvas, Fenton artist
Michelle Kibbe designed and hand painted this
one-of-a-kind birds scene on this 9.5" tall
Basket. Her design encircles the basket and all
the hand painted details are meticulous and
perfect.
One view is of a Chickadee,
Goldfinch and Bluebird, while another scene
features a male
and female
Cardinal pair.
The birds are perched on
snow-covered pine branches amidst falling snow.

The applied rib twisted crystal handle
bears the mark of Fenton Art Glass skilled basket
handler, Brian Green. The basket handler has about 25
seconds to do the following tasks: attach a glowing
ribbon of molten glass to one side of the basket,
deftly twist the rapidly cooling glass and stick it to
the other side, impress the base of each side of the
handle with his handler's mark and, finally, fashion
the handle into a graceful arch.
This one-of-a-kind hand painted Whale figurine (5"
long) is satin-finished Chocolate glass. Artist
Michelle Kibbe created two hand painted scenes on the
sides of this Whale figurine. One side depicts a
lighthouse in the foreground with a sailboat nearby
and mountains in the background. The other side
features three sailboats in the distance and gulls
flying overhead. Both hand painted scenes are
remarkable for their realistic colors and details ...
real tributes to Michelle's talents and skills.
Award-winning Fenton artist Robin Spindler designed
and hand painted this splendid one-of-a-kind Owl
figurine (5.5" tall), and her remarkable creativity,
talents, and skills are certainly on full display.
This Owl figurine is Opal Satin glass, and Robin's
careful airbrushing resulted in the wonderful warm
brown tones that contrast so beautifully with the hand
painted white accents and those realistic amber eyes!
The green glass Butterfly on the Owl's rocky perch has
been painted gold on its underside, and this
innovative technique creates a vivid iridescent look,
as you can see in the photos.
These
official Fenton Art Glass eBay auctions will
end at 2 p.m. ET on Wednesday, February 26, 2020. |
