FENTON ART GLASS
MADE IN THE USA
The Fenton Art Glass Company was founded in 1905 by
Frank L.
Fenton and his brother John W. Fenton in an old glass factory building
in Martins Ferry, Ohio. They began by painting decorations on glass
blanks made by other glass manufacturers. Soon, being unable to get the
glass they needed, they decided to produce their own glass. The first
glass from the new Fenton factory in Williamstown, West Virginia, was
made on January 2, 1907. During its 106-year history, Fenton introduced
the first iridescent ware (now known as "Carnival glass") as well as
classic patterns such as Hobnail, Burmese and a wide variety of
handmade colored art glass as limited editions.
Sadly, on July 6, 2011, the Fenton Art Glass Company announced that it
would cease production of its collectible and giftware glass products.
The company had faced financial challenges since its restructuring in
2007, and recent developments combined to force the shutdown of its
traditional glassmaking business.
