What is Fenton Art Glass?
This is easily summed up in seven words Fenton Art Glass is a modern American Tradition as Alan Linn put it in The Fenton Story of Glassmaking (revised ed.1995). He went on to say that the fine craftsmen and women and all those who support them provide the most important ingredient of Fenton glass—people. And because of the excellent craftsmanship of all those people Fenton glass is sought after by collectors from around the world, all in appreciation of knowing it is American made and made well. The history of Fenton Art Glass Company itself is a tribute to the American dream and the beautiful glass that they have made for almost 100 years is the evidence of that dream. Now to fill in the technical blanks about the actual glass rather than the nostalgia which attracts so many, here are a few links to help you get more familiar with Fenton Glass.
