blenko 927 & 928 vases

Hi there,
The blue vase just came in today. Mislisted and I picked it up for $8.00. Only the second one I've seen. I had one in ruby at the Kemp.

These are the questions I have for each and every item.
By the way the Georgia glass was totally awesome, ask the couple for more photos.

In yesterdays Herald the McKenzie furniture companys successful ventures was the topic of a story, isn't this the company you wrote about some time ago? The one with Blenko Glass inserts? The man from antique glass who brokered this deal he was fired right?
The director of antique glass was also fired recently am I correct?

Beautiful photos.
My thanks to either WVJ or Bruce & crew.
Is there a story that accompanies these lovely ladies?

Couldn't agree more.
The punch bowl and the beautiful crystal clear ruby are fine examples of Blenko's past.

when you buy these type of pieces watch for thin spots on the sides and bottoms, they are bad about paper thin spots.

I don't know if the house is complete but I think it's done. There is only one guy left who knows how to make glass and I've heard the new girl doesn't like him either lookout Robinson. Your probably next.
