    I recall the gleam in your Moms eyes when she spoke of finding a watermelon and a pineapple to complete your Dads collection.
    Is this one being offer on auction?

    There is an asian traditon of having watermelon for goodluck.
    This one could bring 365 days a year good luck.
    Is this difficult to obtain?
    Phani thank you for reminding us of the festival of color a festival Blenko Collectors who rejoyce in color should appreciate.

    Hi All, I found this beauty at an estate sale. It is #9356L, in Alpine, the only piece made in Alpine by Blenko. It is a nice, large 13" tall and I believe it was designed by Hank Adams. I love his work! ~Beth
