Fenton Custard Glass Cat
« on: June 25, 2022, 05:22:06 PM »
This is one of the Fenton hand-painted uranium custard glass cats. Probably from the 1970's-80's, this one was painted by Valory Gherke who worked for Fenton on and off from 1977-99. Height is 9cm. and quite heavy at 310gms/11oz.

And the pose. It is beautifully modelled.
I try very hard to resist cute kittens. I do not succeed when they are well done.  ;D

Gobel frosted, Pukeberg, Liskeard, Lindshammer, Hadeline, Nybro, Dansk (metal and glass) Pirelli and other end of days animal and OMG so much more. Too many collections than I have space!!

Thanks Mbullock, I was actually looking for a cat in cobalt blue uranium glass but saw this one and couldn't resist it.
