  4. Yes. blenko saves the molds for most designs. So many times, they attach a handle or swirl to older design and sell.

  8. Dear Anonymous,

    1- Blenko does save some of its molds. Holy family by don shepherd is one example which has been with blenko and released a few times over the years.

    2- Other example is IceFloe line which was designed by don shepherd and blenko used this mold several times follwing the first release in 1977.

    3- Blenko waterbottle is made in metal mold, and has been used several times.

    4- most small items like bowls and solid pieces etc are cast and not blown.

    thanks
