”'Owloween''
from Fenton USA
Included in the 2010 Studio Fenton collection, this 3'' Owl figurine is named Owloween and is limited
to 500 pieces. Designed by
cameo artists Kelsey Murphy and
Robert Bomkamp. Front and back views are shown in the photo.
Cameo carving is a painstaking process. After the glass has been annealed, a special mask is taped to the surface of the glass. Using an advanced vignetting technique, each piece is sandcarved, by hand, using aluminum oxide crystals under pressure to take away some of the surface.
Great individual skill and experience are needed to control this operation, as stages of successive cameo carving are required to create the remarkable depth and the intricate details.”
Measures approximately 3 inches tall.
