Just Arrived Fenton Glass Hand Painted Curious Cat

Just arrived is this Fenton Art Glass Marigold Carnival curious cat figurine with a graceful design titled Lustered Blossoms. A special spray of metallic salts creates various effects on different base glass colors for the Lustred Blossoms on Marigold Carnival was designed by Kim Barley. In October 1907, Fenton Art Glass Company entered the marketplace with an exciting new line of glassware called ''iridescent ware'' which featured vivid, changing metallic hues on highly-patterned pressed glassware. Stories told about how this glassware was used as midway game prizes and the phrase ''Carnival glass'' was coined. When Fenton resumed production of their iridescent glass in 1970, we decided to call it "Carnival glass'' and have done so ever since.
