FENTON CHOCOLATE GLASS CRUSHED & RE-MELTED INTO EXCLUSIVE JABO MARBLES "Life is Like a Box of Chocolates!" "Happy Holidays from Touch of Glass Marietta!" JABO MARBLE COMPANY IS THE EXCLUSIVE MANUFACTURER OF DECORATIVE MARBLES MADE FROM RE-MELTED FENTON ART GLASS. LOCATED 20 MINUTES FROM THE FENTON PLANT, JUST NORTH OF MARIETTA, OHIO. JABO WAS FEATURED ON THE DISCOVERY CHANNELS, "Dirty Jobs" STARRING MIKE ROWE IN 2009. THE SHOW IS A LOT OF FUN TO WATCH AND CAN BE FOUND ON "YOU TUBE." I hand-inspected and selected this group of JABO Marbles and they will arrive in a white cotton-lined gift box. There are no flaws; the "white specks" are reflections. The Fenton Chocolate Epergne in the background is not included, but rather for reference only. If you are a Fenton collector of "All Things Chocolate"you won't want to miss this opportunity. This is the first time we have offered an entire "Box of Chocolate." Like all our JABO Marble auctions, we always include a couple of "FREE SURPRISE" JABO Marbles also! The JABO Chocolate Marbles measure +/- 0.75" (3/4" of an inch). “A TRIBUTE TO THE AMERICAN WORKER” Fenton Art Glass... sadly, after 106 years, it looks like these are the final days for the industry leader. They have always been the benchmark that all other art glass was judged. They set the standard for quality, beauty, unique designs, innovative colors and most of all, pride in their work, knowing each handmade piece is a unique "work of art." If you ever took the Fenton factory tour, as you passed by the red-hot roaring furnaces, you could see the concentration, determination, the sweat and could feel the pride, knowing that every employee working there was dedicated to their craft. Many families made their entire career at the Fenton Art Glass Company. All employees, past and present, should hold their heads high, and be proud of the work they did and the enjoyment their beautiful glass brought to households, museums and galleries around the world. (As an example, we recently sold a Fenton Amberina Vase to a family in Finland!) I would personally like to say "thank you" for your hard work and I'm sure many other collectors would too! I can't count the number of auctions, estate sales and glass exhibits I have attended over the years, where other brands of (beautiful) glass were being shown and people with a well-trained eye would say, "Yes, but it's just not as nice as Fenton." What else needs to be said? Fenton Art Glass is and will continue to be the best! Again, I want to say thank you to everyone and hope new opportunities come. Fenton Art Glass was a great employer over the years, a famous tourist attraction for our area and a "good neighbor" in every aspect. These are difficult times for everyone. Hopefully, better days lie ahead, but it is sad to see yet another small piece of America close its doors. FENTON NEWS _______________________________ FENTON NEWS In the past few weeks, we have attended the Fenton Tent Sale, many of the local sales and auctions, and the National Fenton Glass Society (NFGS) Auction held in Williamstown, just five blocks from the Fenton plant. Th is past Saturday evening (Nov 12, 2011) we attended "Fenton VIP Night." The Fenton Families close the store one night to the general public to hold this enormous event, where many rare pieces are sold to customers the Fentons call Fenton VIP's. We love going, as it is a chance to see old friends and make new ones, with one common factor: their love and enthusiasm for Fenton Art Glass. We bought some new items and had some older pieces autographed. The place was packed! Over 500 showed up via RSVP, not to mention, probably 100+ latecomers like myself, that made a steady stream of Fans of Fenton! Everything was well-organized and made for a great evening! Add us to your favorites to see some of the most rare and one-of-a-kind pieces ever offered. Many pieces will be autographed and as we have always done, every... read more
