YOUR QUESTION - Value of Glass


The question: Should I pay more a signed piece of Blenko?
Response: Signed glass or glass signed by the artist or the CEO/ President of the Company is more valuable. Few items are signed.
Often times only glass of high quality is considered for signature.
Readers, do you have comments, would you pay more for signed pieces? Why or Why not.

Note: BLENKO GLASS Visitors Center - Milton has a table of SIGNED GLASS. Signed Glass is currently and most always available for purchase at BLENKO GLASS in Milton. It is more costly but makes for an impressive gift. I use my Blenko daily for drinks, serving, etc- these items I wouldn't want signed as they are washed so often. Blenko Glass - Visit the Factory and Visitors Shop there are items available from $5 to $250+ you are certain to find something you'll LOVE!
