Blenko Glass Collections

"Two goals that I set for our collection was to complete a set of '36-37 "Cobweb" vases and a complete set of Gump's decanters. The first we met this spring (2008), and just in time for an exhibit of part of our collection at the Kemp Center for the Arts in Wichita Falls, Texas. Several of the pictures are related to that exhibit, or were made in preparation of a catalog of the pieces that were on loan. I am sure that with a little luck and time we will eventually be able to complete the Gump's collection as well. "Our collection spans almost every year of Blenko's production, and rightly so, since it all reflects the beauty and craftsmanship distinctly Blenko." - Bruce Specht |

But I appreciate the photos and your time.
The idea of a family collecting and learning about a glass together is totally outstanding.
ReplyDeleteThe children will learn many skills, color, shape, identification, haggling skills, ability to work in groups etc.
Kudos to this family.
More people should develop wholesome non atheltic no competitive family activities.
Its almost Zen like the collecting of Blenko.

about each photo.

collect?
The displays are professional is Specht an artist?

ReplyDeleteHillary is smart not to give out too much information about herself. The world is full of people who become obsessed with someone or something and take on the characteristics of a stalker.
For the safety and security of this wonderful family, the Spechts, and their massive Blenko collection, it is smart to hold back details. At a session given by our local policemen, I learned that you only give personal details to someone you know personally. If you can't put a name with a face, you don't provide personal information.

Point taken. My request for information was not for 'personal' information.
ReplyDeleteCurious about what leads to collecting, how people decide to display, specht photo displays are professional in compositon.
Older Family Physician/ Educator here no one would allow me to stalk them even if I had the energy.
ONE TOTALLY AWESOME GROUP OF GLASS
ReplyDeleteand I like the White rooms to show the glass. I need to take
down my wall paper and use white paint. The glass looks so nice against white.
