Mystery color sample: this spittoon shaped piece with Coin Dot motif is about 4.5" in diameter, but we have not been able to identify the glass color for sure. We believe that the basic batch was Burmese with an added ingredient to create the green hue. Label indicates this piece was made on 3/26/63.

Good morning everyone,

It has been a while since we've posted an update. After a little time off for the holidays, we had our first meeting of the year and hit the ground running. Lights have been installed in the cases, and the cases have been seated. Our graphic designer and Graphik Masters have been hard art work. Some of the graphics have also been installed. This will take a few trips from their facility in Pennsylvania.

We still have a list of items we are working on. This has been quite an endeavor, and honestly a labor of love for all of us. We have also added a few more case sponsors. If you'd like to be a part of our journey, you can contact the Fenton Art Glass Collectors of America Inc at 304-375-6196, email us at [email protected], or message us here with any questions.

We are looking forward to seeing everyone soon ❤️

We are so excited! Our graphic artist, Cindi Often, has created 23 beautiful headers for our showcases. One will be featured on each case, along with all relevant graphics depicting photos, information, and stories. Now is your chance to be part of the museum! To sponsor showcase graphics, $1000 is what it takes. Have your name(s) added to the showcase as a graphics sponsor. If a group of people would like to pool their money, we will add a group title to your showcase graphics. For instance "The ______ Family" or "Fenton Finders of ______". It could even be a business name like "_______ Antique Mall".

Below you will find our list of showcases. You'll see that several of these cases already have sponsors. If you would like to sponsor graphics pertaining to a particular era or style, please contact the FAGCA office today to check availability and get your name on the list! 304-375-6196 or email us at [email protected]

Let’s crack the code of the original Fenton Art Glass Museum! 🧐 The museum used a unique numbering system for their archive where every digit in the sequence had a specific meaning—check out the informative photo in this post to see the factory’s official breakdown. Here is a surprising twist: simply having a museum number doesn't guarantee the piece was made by Fenton. Frank Fenton was an avid collector who added distinct pieces from other glassmakers to the museum inventory, making these archives a true history of glass art. We'd love to know—do you have one of these special museum pieces in your collection? 🙋
