FENTON™ ART GLASS
MADE IN THE USA
The Fenton Art Glass Company was founded in 1905 by Frank L. Fenton
and his brother John W. Fenton in an old glass factory building in
Martins Ferry, Ohio.
They began by painting decorations on glass blanks made by other glass
manufacturers.
Soon, being unable to get the glass they needed, they
decided to produce their own glass.
The first glass from the new Fenton factory in Williamstown, West
Virginia, was made on January 2, 1907. During its 106-year history,
Fenton introduced the first iridescent ware
(now known as "Carnival glass") as well as classic patterns such as
Hobnail, Burmese and a wide variety of handmade colored art glass as
limited editions.
Sadly, on July 6, 2011, the Fenton Art Glass Company announced that it
would cease production of its collectible and giftware glass products.
The company had faced financial challenges since its restructuring in
2007, and recent developments combined to force the shutdown of its
traditional glass making business.
