In addition to the bookends you mentioned, Blenko also made an owl paperweight back in the 1970's. See the 1972 catalog on this site. In the early 1970s Blenko made a series of crystal decanters with figural stoppers (fish, ram, etc.) I believe one of the stoppers was an owl. See the 1970 catalog.

Just a thought---use google and type in Blenko owl, then select images. There appears to be a cool vase, a set of bookends, a group of 1,2 or 3 owls designed by Don Shephard, an ashtray, 2 different paperweights and a cheese tray. Google is a search engine, Hillary is a Dentist.
