Fenton custard glass bell, hand painted and signed by Fenton artist D. Wright — a named-artist piece that stands apart from standard production Fenton. The warm opaque ivory-cream finish is classic Fenton custard glass, and the ruffled, crimped skirt edge is quintessentially Fenton. A true collector’s piece.
The hand-painted fruit motif wraps the bell in lush detail: a split pomegranate, golden pear, clusters of grapes and blueberries, and trailing green leaves — all rendered with the confident brushwork of a practiced hand. A red accent ring at the neck adds a crisp finishing touch. The original brass chain clapper with a faceted crystal bead drop is intact.
The base bears the green cursive Fenton “F” mark and the handwritten inscription "hand painted by D. Wright" — both clearly legible. Likely produced in the 1980s–1990s during Fenton’s celebrated hand-painted artist series era.
