Fenton Whispering Woods On French Opalescent Satin Bird Figuirne

American glassmakers transformed European stained glass used in cathedrals into the translucent milky glass we now refer to as opalescent during the Art Nouveau period. John LaFarge and Louis Comfort Tiffany were two American artists who first experimented with opalescent effects, driven by their desire to use glass in creating beautiful visual scenes in art without painting. French Opalescent glass with a silky smooth satin finish is the perfect canvas for an enchanting winter motif designed by Stacy Williams. Each handpainted bird figurine is signed by the artist who completed it. You can purchase this Fenton Art Glass bird figurine by visiting our website www.EclecticShop.com or by clicking here.

Fenton Glass Hand Painted Bridesmaid Doll in Orange Slice

A collector favorite, this 7'' Doll figurine is handcrafted in our new Orange Slice color for Collector's Corner 2010. Collectors' Corner is a selection of innovative glass colors and decorative treatments. The idea for Collectors' Corner came from collector requests that, just one time per year, we create special new pieces that many collectors would desire.

Fenton's new Orange Slice is an artistic color with it's own personality! It is a striking color like Ruby. We loved the high energy color from the late '60s and saw that it was a perfect color wheel complement to Buttercup, Robin's Egg Blue and Key Lime. Chemicals and processes have changed a little since our original orange so the color may vary. What we love best about Orange Slice: Vibrancy! The shades go from gold to orange at times, and it may look as if it has an opalescent edge on the finished edge.
