Fenton Art Glass Cameo Gallery Vases Arrived Today!

If you missed our preview and preorder of the Gallery Collection, you may not be familiar with this Fenton glass Collection. The Gallery Collection features 12 cameo carved items design by Kelsey Murphy. Mist of the items were limited editions with no more than 90 pieces being created. These sand carved cameo items looked just stunning in the photos and we've been waiting to see the actual pieces. The wait is over because we received four of the Gallery Collection vases today!



This vase is one of my favorites! The vase starts as a Aubergine glass which is cased with Milk Glass. The carving process removes layers of the Milk Glass creating depth in the beautiful design. The amount of detail in this vase is incredible. The climbing vines and flowers pattern covers the entire vase. Click the photo to the left to get more information and see additional photos.




Stars of the Garden on Ruby Vase SB066CJ

We're very luck to have #1 of a Limited Edition of 90 pieces. If your a lover of gardens and garden scenes, this is the vase for you. This 10 1/2" tall vase has a Ruby Glass layer which transforms into a multi layers of color carved vase. The base starts with a rich Ruby Glass. As you move up the vase the colors transform to a soft yellow color and topping off at a pale yellow satin. If you look closely at the flowers on the vase, your notice great detail in the pedals.

We're very luck to have #1 of a Limited Edition of 65 pieces. The photos for this vase don't really show the detail of the vase. During the sand carving process the Iridized Rosalene layer is removed leaving a satin Rosalene background. This causes the design of graceful tulips and butterflies to be in Iridized Rosalene on a Rosalene satin background. Click the photo to the left to get more information and see additional photos.




The first thing that strikes you when you look at this vase is the dramatic contrast of the Ruby and Milk Glass. The complexity of this vase is clear to anyone who studies it. With only two colors of glass it requires a very experienced sand carving artist to create multiple layers of depth. We've had several sand carved pieces in our collection, but none have ever had the depth of sand carving this piece does. The banner and stars along the bottom of the vase stand out a quarter of an inch from the vase. Click the photo to the left to get more information and see additional photos.
