Hello Hillary I have a Blenko bowl purchased about 25 years age. I have not seen a bowl similar to this in recent years. It is part of our Blenko collection which we have collected over the years. This bowl is the centerpiece on our table and is filled with 8 Blenko glass apples of various colors. The apples are of solid glass. I have always wondered if you still have the mold for this bowl. Attached is a photo of this bowl. William Galyean |
Title
Heart of Glass - Blenko Glass
Blenko Glass is a West Virginia treasure that spans generations. Nothing symbolizes the state of West Virginia better or more beautifully than Blenko Glass. We will discuss current and former craftsmen and designers and how important it is that Blenko and West Virginia glass be appreciated and valued by the younger generation.

I OWN THIS BOWL ALSO
I OFTEN USE IT TO DISPLAY AND SERVE DESSERT.
MY BOWL IS SIGNED RICHARD BLENKO I BOUGHT IT IN 2000 FOR $99.
I DO BELIEVE IT WAS A CATALOG ITEM BUT I BOUGHT IN TEXAS WHEN RICHARD WAS SIGNING GLASS.
MY PARTNER AND I WERE VACATIONING AND SAW THE SIGN MENTIONING RICHARD WOULD SIGN GLASS.

Are you interested in selling?
William,
I am back yet again to admire your bowl and fruits.
Are the fruit W.Va. glass or Lennox?

Does anyone else miss Richard?
I have a good 2 dozen pieces signed by Rick Blenko.
I miss his friendly smile, his gentle ways, and how much he knew about Blenko.
William I agree your bowl is unique and the fruit is also unique and beautiful

I'm interested in sailing.
Have you been this year?
I would use this as a cake plate.
It is unique.
Do you think Blenko might again make a cake plate with topper?

Mr. Gaylean
Will you send photos of your other pieces.
This is a nice 'blast from the past.'

FYI
Blenko molds are hand carved of cherry wood and most often do not survive for more than a few ( 10) years.
