I bought some glass this week end the dealer says all four pieces are Blenko.
Only one piece has a Blenko signature or sign on the bottom. The other three have no marks but do look like glass I see on Blenko inspired websites.
How do I know if its Blenko?

Tim,
Older Blenko may have a sandblasted BLENKO (see photo), other Blenko will have stick on labels ( check out Blenko Collector and Blenko four and Blenko Museum websites for photos of various labels).
Thank you for buying Blenko. If you have not visited the Blenko Glass Factory in Milton, WVa, I suggest you plan a visit for this summer. The Gift Shop and the Antique Malls of Milton, South Charleston, and Charleston contain the very best new and vintage BLENKO .
Note: Prices are lower at the factory!

Warning.
ReplyDeleteMany times a Blenko sticker is placed on a piece of glass made in Mexico or elsewhere.
To my knowledge the mark shown has not been duplicated.
Please allow comments to appear in 2011.

I believe they ARE sandblasting...I got my boss a water bottle for Christmas, it's sandblasted with Blenko, the little hand and the date. Made a very cool gift...
