WARNING WARNING DANGER DANGER Will Smith.
Many of the Blenko Birthday Vases are not original.
Blenko made 10 or more extras each year. During the closure due to debt a good number of these were sold for $50 and less.
They are now in the market - many with fake signatures and I've seen a few with a for real signature.
Be cautious and buy WV Birthday only from known source.
Several WV Birthday are now on Ebay - I dunno but I suggest buying with caution always.
Check the vases you purchase on line or in person carefully.
If you need to know what marks should be on the vase ask Blenko or Dr Hilery.

Sam they have done this for years with alot of their exclusive pieces. Not just birthday pieces. They usually sell them in the visitor center or to other walk in customers.
