The Green Opalescent Iridized mouse has sold out.  We are substituting Ruby Slag Iridized ($33) or Orange Slice Satin ($25). Primary Members who are current on their 2021 dues may order their choice of two of the mice, per household. All colors are quite limited.

The early orange pieces are called 'Flame' by collectors. Pieces that were made from moulds also used to produce stretch glass can generally be regarded as being made during the Venetian Red period. These include the candy boxes, the #550 large 12-panel bowl and the small #545 cupped bowl.      Golden Flax on Cobalt By Claire and Alan Kauffung In 1995, Fenton introduced Golden Flax on Cobalt, designed by Frances Burton. There are 12 pieces in the line. The color code for the pattern is KG.   Left to right in the photo:   2766 - 8" basket                                                  9667 - 7" Aurora bell                                      7380 - 9.5" footed candy with cover            5109 - 4.5" polar bear                                        2953 - 9" hexagonal vase                          1540 - 23.5" lamp                                      5165 - 3.75" cat                                          1649 - 9.5" feather vase (Shelley Fenton sig.)    5136 - 3.5" rearing elephant                      3265 - 32 ounce pitcher                              1133 - 7" basket                                          9229 - 6.5" Empress comport   zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz Introducing the NFGS             Secretary / Office Manager By Alan Fenner On December 16, 2020, Jenny Bruce began training with Samantha Inman who has moved on to full-time employment.  We appreciate all that Samantha did during her tenure with the NFGS!   Sadly, Jenny left her position on February 11, 2021, due to health issue.
