Pre-designer vases

Hi Doc,

A couple of pre-designer pieces that have found their way into the collection recently. I found the Amethyst Blenko #375 two handled vase in a antique store in Denton, Texas. What makes it unusual to me is that it is crackle. Before this I had only seen these in the optic bodies of which I have several nice examples in my collection. The other piece is a Ruby Blenko #488.

Enjoy,

Bruce Specht
