Iridescent carnival glass cat figurine by Fenton Art Glass

Fenton Art Glass Company, founded in 1905 in Williamstown, West Virginia, became renowned for its handcrafted carnival glass pieces. This sitting cat figurine was produced during Fenton's later period, likely between 1985 and 1996, when the company revived carnival glass production with iridescent finishes in various colors including this distinctive celeste blue. The piece showcases Fenton's signature iridescent treatment, which creates the rainbow-like shimmer across the glass surface. Fenton carnival glass figurines are highly sought after by carnival glass collectors and cat enthusiasts alike. These charming animal figurines represent American glass-making craftsmanship and appeal to collectors who appreciate both the artistic quality and the nostalgic value of mid-to-late 20th century decorative glass. The iridescent blue coloration and the whimsical cat design make this piece particularly desirable among Fenton collectors who value the company's playful approach to traditional glassmaking techniques.
