Fenton Studio ... The Artistry of Dave Fetty and Cameo Carved Masterpieces from Kelsey Murphy and Robert Bomkamp. This beautiful 8'' Burmese Sunset Sail Vase by Kelsey Murphy and Robert Bomkamp is made with our classic Fenton Burmese glass, which has pure gold in the formula to create the pink blush effect. The Vase features an all-around scene of cameo carved sailboats and sea birds that seems never to end. Limited to 350 pieces.

Cameo carving is a a painstaking process. After the glass has been annealed, a special mask is taped to the surface of the glass. Using an advanced vignetting technique, each piece is carefully sandcarved, by hand, using aluminum oxide crystal under pressure to take away some of the surface. Great individual skill and experience are needed to control this operation, as many distinct stages of successive cameo carving are required to create the remarkable depth and the intricate details.
