  1. I find it difficult to believe that is Blenko.
    Is this a trick question?
    My vote is NO it is not Blenko.
    You are beautiful and funny heart of glass lady.

  4. Speaking of "YES! IT's Really BLENKO!" Some of the Viking Glass that I own looks a lot like Blenko. For example, the Big glass free-form bowl #955L. Is it possible to tell it apart?

    What dates did Wayne work for Viking? What Viking designs are attributed to him?

  5. Did Blenko ever make the "swung" vases (with the drippy looking tops) that were made by Viking? How can I learn more about Blenko's swung vases?

  6. westvirginiajanis,
    Blenko never made swung vases per se, they did however make something that looks similar to a swung vase. John Nickerson included it in his line. You can see it here: http://www.blenkocollectors.com/

    The Blenko Collectors website is a great place to wander about looking at Blenko.

  8. susan,

    Blenko calls the color Ruby. Blenko has been producing Ruby off and on since the 1930s. Any differences in Ruby shades are related to how long it was processed, reheated, etc.

  10. PetSmart was founded in 1986 and opened its first [url=http://www.lovelonglong.com][b]dog bed[/b][/url] Warehouse stores in the Phoenix area. Through several mergers and acquisitions, PetSmart expanded in the early- and late-1990s across the U.S. and into Canada, and entered [url=http://www.lovelonglong.com][b]dog bed[/b][/url] online retailing through a partnership with Idealab in 1999.
    In antique 2000, PetSmart remodeled most of its store in a plan they called "Eagle" which changed scads of its stores from a front-half [url=http://www.lovelonglong.com][b]dog bed[/b][/url] storefront, back-half warehouse feel to an all-over standard retail market, in hopes of not intimidating customers.
    In August 2005, the company announced that it was rebranding its name from PETsMART to PetSmart. This move is designed to feature its evolution from a pet supply store to a solutions-oriented company.
    As of November 2007, PetSmart operated nearly 1,000 stores and about 150 locations with PetsHotels and Doggie Day Camps. Some PetSmarts are [url=http://www.lovelonglong.com][b]dog bed[/b][/url] co-located with Banfield Pet Hospital veterinary offices.
