    I've searched, but can't find anything similar, and I don't have glass knowledge. Could it be Blenko? Any ideas on maker, age, and how to describe/keywords for it, if one were to list:cat:
    Stands about 9 9/16" high. Thanks for your time.

    These were all hand made so that some differences are to be expected. I think it is the Blenko woman.

    Okay, looking in Blenko cool 50s & 60s glass 2nd edition by pina - #7047 Nude by Myers 1970 design 47. Looking at the one in the book and yours, now I'm not so sure - the hair is referred to as 'Simpsons Hairstyle' which yours look like but the arms I just don't know - I'll keep looking. Here is a link to the Blenko catalogue for 1970.

    Thank you so very George and cxgirl!That's great help and I really appreciate it. Thanks for that catalog link too. It sure does look similar, and another thing I noticed is mine has eyes, and I can't see any eyes on the others, but maybe it's just something the designer felt like adding at the time?
    I did some research on some of the Blenko sites showing fakes vs. real Blenko, and it seems like if it were a fake, there would be more of them out there....wouldn't there? Or am I wrong?
    Thanks again for the help, and for your time.:kiss:
