Fenton Art Glass Fluttering Florals on Lavender


Fentons' new Lavender color collection for 2010 features a design by Michelle Kibbe calledFluttering Florals on Lavender. You can see why we called the florals Fluttering, the flower petals resemble delicate butterfly wings! Lavender contains neodymium, so your pieces will be different colors under various lighting conditions. This characteristic is called "dichoric," and it makes Lavender a great conversation topic! The Lavender items have been VERY popular and have almost sold out. We have a few still in stock, but don't wait too long. Click on the links below for more information:

The beautiful Tulip Domain Vase 8805 BU is handcrafted in Fenton's classic Burmese, which contains pure gold in the formula to create the soft pink blush. Kim used coral and light red colors to create the lush tulips which appear to be draping down from the top of the vase.

Fenton Art Glass Hand Painted Sunshine on Buttercup & Buttercup Overlay

Fenton Art Glass buttercup

The new Buttercup glass from Fenton Art Glass is a vibrant yellow made with special ingredients to capture the warmth of Spring sunshine and the excitement of nature's awakening. Designer Kim Barley's floral motif, Sunshine on Buttercup, is both graceful and elegant. For this grouping they've made a beautiful basket of Buttercup Overlay. The Fenton glass workers have mastered the overlay process, but is color of glass proved to be one of the most difficult to make. First, a small quantity of Milk Glass is gathered on a blowpipe and carefully shaped. Then, a layer of Buttercup glass is gathered over the Milk Glass. Each time, the right amount of glass must be gathered so that the overlay will be uniform. Each hand painted Sunshine on Buttercup piece is signed by the talented Fenton artist who completed it.
