Happy Spring!! Happy Easter!!
|
| Celebrate by adding new
pieces of Fenton to your collection!! First, for our Premium Members,
we have a Buttercup mouse decorated with a "Bee and Honeycomb" design.
It is $34. Next, we have a Lavender pedestal egg with a "Panda in
Bamboo" decoration. The cost of the egg is $45. Both of these were
designed and decorated by long-time Fenton Featured Artist Susan Bryan.
For our bead collectors we have a 3-D bead. The bead is a light green
(much like a non-blushing Lotus Mist) decorated with an applied
"Hyacinth" highlighted with a hand painted violet butterfly and green
leaves. It has the NFGS logo, and
can be yours for only $40, which includes shipping. Also shown below is
the green/ruby/copper bead from our holiday offer. We have a very
limited amount of those in stock. |

Fenton Gems -The 1994 Fuchsia Line
By Doug McIntosh
John Walk, in his 1985-2001 Compendium, calls it "possibly the most beautiful Opalescent color prduced in the 1990s". Made by covering gold Ruby glass with opalescent Rose Magnolia, fuchsia was given the color designation EH. Nine blown shapes were in this line - the eight shown at right, plus the 1216 ten-inch spiral vase. |
