Autumn Morn Lamp Highlights the Fenton Art Glass Connoisseur Collection



(Williamstown, WV). The 2006 Connoisseur Collection from Fenton Art Glass showcases the skills and talents of their glassworkers and artists. This year's "Autumn Morn" Burmese lamp is sure to become a treasured heirloom.

Memories of a perfect fall morning inspired Designer Frances Burton to create the serenity of an autumn day. A scenic country church with its stately spire and a nearby shaded woodland stream enhance the blushing beauty of Burmese Glass. Pure gold in the formula causes a pink glow to emerge from the creamy yellow background, creating a blushing palette for the golden tones of fall. Sparkling glass highlights that seem to dance in the sunlight enhance the scene on the graceful bell-shaped shade.

Item 8699 UP 22-1/2" Autumn Morn Bell Lamp, limited to 950 pieces, retails for $695 U.S.
