Blenko cards


Hello Hillary,
I ordered cards from Diane. They are beautiful. I wanted to frame the cards, so I requested her to sign the front of the cards, which she did. Diane is very nice and professional. I requested her to make a black card, and she did.
Below is picture of the set of 8 cards. I will send more pictures once I frame them.
Regards,
V

The brown and black are very masculine, I also appreciate these and would frame.

Blenko did produce black glass, if memory serves me #1)Glassdoc collects black glass,#2) blenko discontinued it in the late 90s #3) it was made on 3 different occassions for limited time.
Hope this helps.

Blenko did make black or ebony glass several times in the past. It was not popular although it did have a few fans. Blenko was made famous for its COLOR! Black glass nor milk glass never seemed to fit in.

@susan: Blenko did make ebony glass in 2000s. 2004-2005 catalog has black glass on page 6. And according to the older post, they offered ebony glass until 2007.
