Fenton Art Glass Fairy Lights-Revised Edition-Peggy Rose Whiteneck (2024)

Description: Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE Fenton Art Glass Fairy Lights, Revised Edition. By Peggy Rose Whiteneck. ISBN 979-8-9908601-6-2 When the Fenton Art Glass Company ceased production in 2011, it left a legacy of decorated glassware that still attracts collectors today. This book provides a comprehensive look at the fairy lights that form a unique part of this legacy. Over the years, these popular lamps were offered in a cross-section of Fenton's beautiful colors, and served as an inspiration to the talented decorators who enhanced them in ways that range from the sublime to the whimsical. Over 260 full color photographs show representative examples of these quintessentially Victorian forms, with an accompanying table giving production data for all of the known documented one piece, two piece, three piece, and four piece fairy lamps made over the years. This revised edition of the classic work originally published in 2012 is greatly expanded and also includes chapters on seasonal and holiday lights and those made in figural shapes. 133 pages, illustrated throughout. This book is a part of a much larger project to place glass information not in archival storage boxes but in the hands of students, collectors, and dealers in glass. Only by sharing can we make the necessary leaps in learning, as we all bring some piece of the puzzle. The West Virginia Museum of American Glass (WVMAG), a non-profit organization, is committed to sharing glass information and from that conviction this Monograph Series was born. If you are a member of WVMAG (at the $40.00 or above level), you will be refunded $4.00 from the price of this book after payment. About the West Virginia Museum of American Glass, Ltd. (WVMAG) The West Virginia Museum of American Glass, Ltd. is a non-profit museum with a mission to share the diverse and rich heritage of glass as a product and historical object as well as telling of the lives of glass workers, their families and communities, and of the tools and machines they used in glass houses. WVMAG, Ltd. is located in Weston, West Virginia. The Museum includes representative samples of all glass products...from bottles to lightening rod balls, from telegraph insulators to glass used in automobiles, from pressed to blown tableware. We preserve the history of the places and people who made these products. Our Museum examines the rich history of some of America's most famous glass factories, while at the same time carefully understanding the impact that the hundreds of smaller and often time forgotten glass houses made on the history of the glass industry. The WVMAG displays many of the diverse and beautiful objects produced by factories during the past century. The museum attempts to compare and contrast similar pieces produced by once competing companies. No other public collection offers such contrasts on a large scale.
