Free Fenton Art Glass: Beasts, Birds & Butterflies Ebooks To Download
Until it suspended major glass production in 2011, Fenton Art Glass was the oldest extant American glass company, having reached its centennial year in 2005. For more than a century, this family-owned business produced glass in an astonishing array of shapes and colors, including the figurines of various animals, birds, and butterflies featured in this book. Glass figurines have achieved iconic status in American culture, but the Fenton animals are not the delicate spun-glass creations of the famous Tennessee Williams play. They are a different kind of glass menagerie altogether! Heavy enough to use as paperweights, they serve as a canvas for colors and decoration ranging from the sublime to the whimsical. This book takes the reader on a tour of that amazing world of glass honoring the beasts, birds, and bugs that are so essential a part of our natural world and our human lives.

The book contains a wealth of information. The most negative comment I have, and have heard, is that the type is too small. Some collectors would appreciate more pictures.
Informative reading with beautiful pictures
Finally a Fenton book with just animals. I have been collecting Fenton for years and this was nice to see. I would like to see a revised version with prices. That would make it even better
A great book on a subject that needs more books written about it. Nice pictures to go with the research that has been done.
