Go to Blenko's VC check out the &#...Hillary. <br /> <br />Go to Blenko's VC check out the 'bastardization' of Wayne Husteds designs that I sadly saw last week <br />I should have referred you to page 40 of Leslie Pina's book 'Popular 50's and 60's Glass' <br />for instance where it shows the 6138 floor vase in its original design which <br />shows how sad we felt to see the fat neck and sunken stopper of the ones I saw last week <br />in the Blenko Sales Room. <br /> <br />And then on page 28 of the same book is a photo of the 6224 square bottle that Husted made the molds for.. It is now on Blenko's website with an ersatze cheaper solid crystal stopper. <br /> The original stoppers were <br />in the same color and texture as the bottle. New one with a solid crystal stopper is a bastardization! We read it is now a special design by Randy Rider Blenko finisher <br />who has made a special run of a hundred. <br /> <br />We do not truly judge anyone for this kind of lack of design integrity as we have learned that the reason some people <br />ignore Integrity in design is that basically their interest is to sell somethng <br />and not an interest in design. <br /> <br />Ah I still like Janis Joplin's admonition: "Beware your integrity as it is all you have in the end!" <br /> <br />My question is What Would Wayne Husted think about Blenko's use of his designs?<br /> Husted is responsible for the current interest in vintage Blenko.<br />Wayne Husted's designs are timeless.<br /> FYI: Check this out! <br /> Is Integrity is something Blenko lost when WH Blenko passed. <br /> Is Integrity something young people fail to recognize? <br /> A Blenko CollectorAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34762127.post-34331166210059158802010-06-27T02:46:09.355-04:002010-06-27T02:46:09.355-04:00I hope you feel better Shorty!
