Thank you for getting his information to us. Many who love Blenko are from "out of the area" and would not have seen the article in the paper.

Is this an artist rendering or the real thing?
I am not impressed with this one, the first 4 were art glass.

all glass is a copy of something else
a true artist doesn't directly copy but uses an item to inspire.
Bayliss would never copy a Blenko design.
