Can you help this Reader ID her glass?


Hello,
I have been unsuccessful identifying the pictures of the art piece
attached to this e-mail.  The antique dealer I bought it from PROMISED
me it was Blenko, but I can not find it in any catalogs.  It has the
characteristics of a Blenko piece, but I just don't know for sure.  It
stands 12 inches high and has about a 25 inch circumfrance.  It is
quite heavy, has air bubbles throughout, but has a rather smooth
pontil.  I want to give it to a collector for a wedding gift next
weekend, but don't want to make a big mistake if it's not Blenko.
Please help!  Thank you ever so much!

hello penny,
all the catalogs we uploaded are the ones sent by readers. If you have catalogs that are not online, please send them to us via email. So we can use them on website.
Thanks

I am not a Blenko expert but this design is unfamiliar and Blenko rarely polishes off the pontil.

Lovely but 99% certain not Blenko.
