VINTAGE FENTON ART GLASS BLACK AND WHITE PANDA BEAR WITH SATIN FINISH. HANDPAINTED AND SIGNED ON THE BOTTOM BY THE ARTIST CAROL S. STILL HAS THE ORIGINAL STICKERS ON THE BOTTOM. ONE STICKER SAYS HANDPAINTED AND THE OTHER STICKER SAYS FENTON. BOTH ARE THE ORIGINAL YELLOW SHADE STICKER.THIS CUTIE IS PART OF A GROUP OF ANIMALS AND BIRDS THAT FENTON MADE AND DUBBED THE NATURAL SERIES. CIRCA 1980's. MEASUREMENTS ARE 3-1/2" TALL, X 2" WIDE, X 2-1/4" LONG." I WOULD SAY THAT THE PANDA BEAR IS THE MOST POPULAR FIGURE IN THE FENTON NATURAL SERIES. HE WOULD MAKE AN IDEAL ADDITION TO YOUR FENTON COLLELCTION. IN GREAT CONDITION.FENTON IS A FAMILY OWNED AND OPERATED, MADE IN AMERICA,IN THE BUSINESS OF ART GLASS CREATION FOR OVER 105 YEARS UNTIL THEY HAD TO CLOSE THEIR DOORS APPROX. 6 YEARS AGO. SADLY, THEY DEVELOPED FINANCIAL PROBLEMS DUE TO THE DECLINE OF THE PUBLIC'S INTEREST IN THESE PAINSTAKINGLY HAND MADE PIECES. THEY MADE MANY DIFFERENT AND UNUSUAL PIECES OF ART GLASS, FROM BEAUTIFUL LAMPS TO THE SMALLEST MOUSE FIGURINE. YOU CAN VIEW MANY OF THEIR PIECES ON EBAY AND EVEN THESE DON'T SHOW THE VERSATILITY OF THEIR WORK. I WOULD SAY THERE IS NO OTHER GLASS PLANT IN WEST VIRGINIA OR IN THE UNITED STATES WHO COULD HOLD A CANDLE TO THEM. THEIR PIECES ARE GORGEOUS, UNIQUE AND UNLIKE ANY OTHER ART GLASS ON THE MARKET. NOW THAT THEY ARE NO LONGER
