American made art glass

Sadly, not so much anymore.  Fenton Glass of Williamstown WV is now Fenton International and nearly all of their art glass pieces now come from China.   It was a bit disappointing.  But, their museum was fantastic.  They have pieces from as far back as the early 1930s in colors like lime sherbet and cameo.  Patterns are molded in, hand worked, etched, painted and carved.  If you have seen a glass whatnot at your grandmas there is probably one like it here.

They do still make glass beads and ear rings and custom paint them here.  It is beautiful work.
