Reader 's Question


Karen, I don't know for certain - but its my understanding the bulls head was made to hang on the wall and hold a plant - we'll see what others have to say. We own two - a ruby one with a green vine that requires little water hangs in my Morgntown guest bath, the other is setting on a shelf, he's blue and gold. Both of mine are reproductions done in the 2000's for BCS , this is yet another reason to join the BLENKO COLLECTORS SOCIETY http://www.blenkoglass.com/ . Tammy Kosla and crew worked hard to make certain each year a couple of items were reproduced *- but marked as reproduced - so not to confuse anyone. Let's wait to see what others have to say about your bullhead. HJH
* a tradition I'm certain BCS president Karin Alonzo will continue.


Hello,

I just acquired a Blenko Bull head similar to yours but mine is different colors. Could you please share some information about it? When where the made, etc. Mine is amber/blue. Mine has an open end @ the top of the head. Is it a paper weight? We just thought it looked like something special.

Thank-you for any information that you can provide,
