Hi Hillary,
For my final photo I am sending this nice pair of Andersons. The compote has a great story behind it that I will share with you later. The first part of the story is that Debbie found this piece several years ago at an Antique Mall that was shutting down. Tucked on a back shelf behind a lot of other stuff. At the time I didn't know it was Blenko for sure but the color was what I knew had to be Chartreuse seed glass. Bought it and then spent the next six months trying to get it identified. Turns out I was right in that it is indeed Blenko and an outstanding design of Winslow Anderson, Blenko #974 Hollow Stem Compote. The smaller piece is another Anderson piece: a 947L in Chartreuse seed glass.
Enjoy
Bruce

and Specht what a combination!
Thank you glassdoc
The color is wonderful
not the new lime or whatever kiwi
but a true yellow green
I love Blenko seed glass
does anyone know the history of
seed glass for Blenko?
Note: I heard Blenko is doing Chapter 11 - is this so?
Also heard no one is working full time except for skelton office staff?
Can anyone comment?
LUCKY
YOU ARE DAMN LUCKY BRUCE
