Fenton Art Glass OOAK Painted Loons on Hunter Green Vase by Michelle Kibbe

Description

Here's a splendid one-of-a-kind hand painted Hunter Green glass vase (8.75" tall), made by Mosser Glass using Fenton mould) from Fenton artist Michelle Kibbe. Michelle hand painted depictions of an extraordinary water bird, the Common Loon. In Michelle's hand painted scene, a Common Loon begins to take flight while another glides by in the water. The hand painted landscape background with cattails, a shoreline of trees and scrub grass, and colorful flowers provides a perfect frame for Michelle’s scene. All the hand painted details are meticulously executed, and the details on the birds are true to life. This one-of-a-kind satin finished Hunter Green glass vase is identified, dated and signed on the underside: "M. Kibbe 2021 OOAK".
