<p>[QUOTE="mirana, post: 9726455, member: 79705"]I saw that one while at the thrift (woo Lens!) and thought "ah this must not be a 'real' one but I'll get it anyway because it is pretty and $5." I did more digging when I got home and found the catalog listing. The Collectors site has a page on the pontil as apparently some people think a Blenko must have a rough pontil? But they can be rough or ground according to them? The color I think matches when the vase was designed at least. It looks like a lot of them don't have the logo etching, but I haven't looked further into what year that started...maybe I should. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie25" alt=":bookworm:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Thank you! I didn't know about Blenko before this but that's the fun of the thrift for me. I try to find beautiful objects and then learn the history of the artisans behind them. Blenko stuff looks really lovely. I can see why people collect it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
