Fenton made some beautiful glass and I always enjoyed my vists to the factory to watch the making of the glass and of course to make numerous purchases.
During the pandemic, I started to go to antique shows and I encountered Fenton glass for the first time. It was so beautiful, I bought as much as I could. My favorite piece is a little carnival glass pink basket in the drapery pattern with a black carnival glass crest. I now have a big collection of Fenton fairy lamps too.
This is from the early 2000's, I believe. I'm not sure they are even making beads now. They do still have a gift shop that sells glass pieces manufactured by other companies but hand-painted at the gift shop by Fenton artists.
I love the Fenton pieces which I have. In this vid they actually showed o piece I have, but in another color. My very favorite is one of their lamps which I think was called Gone With the Wind. It is a kind of dusty rose color, and it is in my bedroom. I’m so sorry they are no longer making such lovely things. Makes me sad. I truly enjoyed this vid.
@@beverlydavid581 - I wonder how many of those were made. I bought mine in the early 1990s. I’d seen it in a store in a local mall and wanted it so much. It was, as I recall, $450.00, and it seemed so expensive. Then the store was going out of business, and I grabbed it. I don’t recall exactly what they were asking, but I think it was $350.00. They only had the one. I was lucky I got to it before anyone else did. My son and his best friend carried it out to the car for me. I was ecstatic to own it. Brought it home, put the boxes in the garage as I was thinking I would get new bedroom furniture. I was fortunate to have stored it, because rather shortly after we had a 6.7 (I think it was) big ol’ earthquake here in So Cal . It was called the Northridge quake. I live n the west, and north end of the San Fernando Valley. Things really shook. But my beautiful lamp did not break. It was perfect in the boxes. Never did get that new bedroom furniture. I’m happy with what I eventually got, and brought out our lamp! Nowadays even my son (in his mid 30s, really loves our lamp here in my bedroom. Did you buy yours n that time period? What state do you live in? If I was technologically savvy I’s take a photo f mine and send it to you. But aren’t we lucky gals to own such a beautiful lamp? Let me know, please!
6:30 There's too many people. A 2nd blocker? If 24 people made that vase, it's not "handmade". And why does the guy that puts the handle on get to put his name on it? So many things wrong here.
So sad that they closed down. They made such gorgeous glass!
I miss working there. It was nice to see all the familiar faces in this video.
Just stopped by to mourn the loss of a great company. Will cherish the pieces I have until it's time to part with them.
Super sad they didn't make it. Sorry we let you down, Fenton.
The loss of Fenton is incalculable for the United States arts and cannot be replaced!
Are there still in production...?:(

My husband always gets a piece from Fenton when we come home to WV. He’s an Indiana native and likes watching the glass blowing

I Ave been to the West Virginia glass factory several times.
How old is this? I thought they were only making beads now. The pieces from their past are great.

@@csking1973 I think it was a true loss when they had to close. My dad is a collector of their figurines.

If married to him you could have all of the pieces!

I have four lamps and a lot of pieces.
