Fenton 5151X0
3-1/2" Crystal Birthstone Bear
October - Rose Zircon

October Bears are the best. I'm
fair and artistic. A little lazy, too.
Put me in the sun, I'll sit back
and shine there forever. Everyone
needs an October Bear.


This adoreable bear cub was handcrafted
by a skilled Fenton master craftsman in
crystal glass that has been fired for a high gloss finish.
Each is adorned with a sparkling Austrian crystal heart.



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 glassmaking business.
