Fenton
Bird Figure
WINTER AURA
CIRCA 2009
These cute little song birds are very popular and highly collectible.  Some are more difficult to find that others....this one IS somewhat difficult to find however.  This one is in very good condition.  Many times the beaks are chipped, or there is newspaper ink from being wrapped that has attached to the piece.  This one, however, is very clean and I see no chips, cracks or repairs.
I have looked through my old catalogs and papers I have from the factory at that time, and it appears to be only shown the Christmas Holiday Catalog 2009.   That would  mean this was some of the last little birds made by the factory which closed shortly after that due to financial hardship. They closed in 2011 two years later and I don't think too many of these birds were made after this 2009 production.   I did look into 2010 and 2011 and it appears that they made about 4 or 5 other birds in other decorations and colors but not this one.  RETIRED IN 2009 and never made like that again.
It is about 4 inches long from beak to tail, about 2-7/8 to 3 inches tall and is about 2-3/8 inches wide from wing to wing.  It is hand decorated and signed by the artist who decorated it which is P. (Pam) Lauderman.   The embossed logo shows the Fenton in a circle with the words USA under the circle.  Fenton was trying to promote the fact that their product was made right here and not from China, Korea, Japan or other foreign countries.
Thanks so much for looking.  Blessings !!!
