Will My Blenko Glass increase in Value ?

Will my glass increase in value.  I'm frequently ask this question.  My response is,  buy only what you love and want to live with.  Then increase or decrease in value is unimportant.  Today I received this note from GD. 
 
Hillary I hope you will publish this.
Friend ask why collect Blenko - it does not increase in price, it breaks and its made in WVa why not Italian Glass or Waterford they increase.
I'm attaching a photo and offer to sell a pair of Anderson Blenko bottles.   I have four of these my Nene bought from Blenko long ago - we thought they might be worth couple hundred now she paid less than $25 @ at the 2nds store ran by Marion Blenko.
Today I found this.  Please pass along so others will know. 1) Check the prices before you sell. 2) Blenko does increase in price - when the design and color are good - the increase can be large.

Good for you. Hold on to the vases. I read daily of people buying nice blenko for pennies. When you help an elderly relative debunk, it helps to have a watchful eye.
