Vintage Blenko


It seems pretty clear that the vintage Blenko market has developed significantly lately with collectors more than any time before willing and able to pay for what is now known to be the very best and rarest of Blenko's 1950's & 1960's production. Probably the most visible evidence of this is on a website that most Blenko collectors have in their "favorites", http://www.vmglasshouse.com/ . Personally I have never before seen so many rare and amazing pieces gathered in one place and for sale. For example, look at these things that many of us will either never see again or have an opportunity to own:
