| (above left:) Fenton Folk Art Rooster Box, #4680 NA, YOP: 1996. This Rooster Box from 1996 was the first Fenton Rooster Box to have been painted in Fenton's Folk Art Animals motif, in 1996 with a coordinating 5" Hen on Nest created as a companion piece. |
| Stacy Williams' Bleu Chateau design is similar to Kim Barley's mould & both are considered French Country. Subtle but visible differences between the two designs include-the Bleu Chateau motif which features a beautiful design centered on each side painted with shades of blue and yellow on Ivory satin glass, but with less blue on this tail than the Blue Toile design has. The Blue Toile design features blue on ivory with fine, curled trailers accenting small floral bunches, over most of the rooster, with no yellow to the color palette, and with more blue on the rooster's head and his tail. The Bleu Chateau motif features a beautiful design using blue and yellow on Ivory satin but with less blue on the rooster's tail than the Blue Toile design has. The Bleu Chateau design also has painted fringe accenting the cowl, with more unpainted ivory left showing on the face. NOTE: The 4.5" rooster box mould purchased at L.G. Wright's going out of business sale was immediately popular with Fenton collectors. To date this rooster box mould was only produced in-line by Fenton as factory decorated wares with painted designs. |
| Fenton 8-1/2" Standing Rooster, ware 5257 FV, YOP: 1998. This ivory rooster has been decorated with the 1998 Folk Art Animals motif, designed by Robin Spindler to feature soft country shades of rose, rust, sage painted on the ivory glass rooster. |
| Fenton Rooster Box, #6483 DD, YOP: 2005. This 4 1/2" Fenton Rooster Box features an Ivory Satin rooster top decorated with Stacy Williams' beautiful Bleu Chateau motif on a Cobalt Satin base. |

An exception to this is the Fenton glass rooster Christmas ornament, which is not made in the USA, as many Holiday Ornaments of quality are. As of 2012, Fenton's Hen on Nest dishes, Rooster Boxes, and their standing and "Shelf Sitter" roosters were produced by Fenton in the USA, with new logos added to Fenton's roster of logos indicating what each of the various logos represented. |
| Collecting-or selling brand name Fenton Art Glass and especially their Hens, Roosters, and other art glass poultry, all proudly produced in the USA, from the early 1950's until Fenton officially closed in 2012, cooling the furnaces that burned for over 105 years. |
