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.
