"We make glass the old-fashioned way, using many techniques and tools that are essentially unchanged from those of a century ago." - George Fenton, President

Fenton Art Glass Company... handcrafted in America for 100 years, continues to support charitable causes...



Now you can help in the ongoing effort to fund research and to find a cure for ALS (Lou Gehrig’s disease). Fenton Art Glass will auction this one-of-kind piece, a handcrafted 9" Cobalt Vase decorated in the painstakingly detailed Mary Gregory style with white enamel…so challenging to work with, it’s like painting with marshmallow cream! Only the most skilled decorators can work in the Mary Gregory style, and our very talented Stacy Williams was inspired to create this dazzling bird and flower design, signifying hope and freedom in the fight against ALS. Only one such piece will ever be created, and the auction begins at noon ET on Friday, July 15. This unique vase bears the signature of Stacy Williams and nine Fenton family members: Shelley, Christine, Randy, Nancy, Scott, Tom, Mike, George and Lynn. Proceeds benefit ALSA. Please do your part to support this worthy cause.
