Fenton Art Glass OOAK Painted Bass on Lighthouse Fairy Light by Michelle Kibbe

Description

Fenton artist Michelle Kibbe captures all the excitement of seeing a leaping largemouth bass on this one-of-a-kind hand painted Opal Satin Lighthouse Fairy Light (5" base and 3" top) crystal top (8" tall overall). The hand painted outdoor scene features a rugged shoreline,
scrub trees and some cattails beneath a light purple sky with blue water below. The leaping
largemouth bass is so realistic that we can almost hear the splash that's just a moment away!
A battery-powered tea light is included. The Lighthouse and crystal top were handcrafted with
Fenton moulds that had not been used for production when Fenton Art Glass ceased glas manufacturing in 2011. This one-of-a-kind hand painted Lighthouse fairy light is identified, dated and signed inside the base: "M. Kibbe 2022 OOAK".
