Hillary,
as we listened to the discussion about the possibility of a Blenko teapot, I couldn't refrain from sending this pic. Obviously not a working teapot, I found this ornamental in the gift shop about a month ago. This is a "lunch-time" piece that made its way to the visitor's center. It is actually a failed attempt at making a snowman or a bunny. Buy the glass that makes you smile!

This is delightful! I also agree buy the best quality you can afford, one great piece rather than a dozen just OK items. Being surrounded by quality makes everyday special. Thank you for sharing!
This is a nice design.

...... Any comments you made or make should be published as you aren't prone to the above actions.

I suggested last month you ask blenko to weekly tell you what was in the VC gift shop and perhaps photos? Why haven't you done this?
ReplyDeleteWhy don't we know more about 'lunch time creations'
ReplyDeletewhere might I find this shop with these items?
Art doesn't have to function only please the senses.
Is there anything the boys at Blenko have not made?
ReplyDeleteThe cocktail pitcher is a new fave for us, we want this in all colors, Damon Crain will enjoy the Tri State Collectors when we come calling.
Country accents, bad taste so forth, but we want to learn.
??? Is the BCS still meeting? Still functioning? Will closing of plant alter this?
To All;
ReplyDeleteFor questions concerning B.C.S. send emails to Tim or Karin at tkalonzo@swbell.net
I know they have a busy schedule, but an=m certain they are interested in continuing B.C.S. ask what you can do to help support and grow this group. Together we can do it. B.C.S. will become more important as time goes on as the history of BLENKO fades( weather they close permanently or not) Collectors hold the future of BLENKO Glass. I will take this time to announce to all of you I am closing my bricks and mortar operation the end of Feb. I will strive to have a better online presence, do shows, and mail/phone orders. I will continue to post and support this blog.

ReplyDeleteI often forget to say Thank you. Your positive comments, your photos, your ability to identify glass - you have been so helpful to the blog. We appreciate you so much.
You are a wonderful resource, and a great supporter of American and Blenko Glass.
