Predesigner Ruffle Vase from Bruce

Predesigner Ruffle Vase

As you are well aware by now I really enjoy finding the older designs of Blenko such as these examples of Predesigner vases. From the left is the Blenko #388 Footed ruffle vase in Lemon, Blenko #389 Ruffle topped vase in Ruby, and the Blenko #390 vase in Turquoise. I have several examples of the 388's and 390's but this is only the second #389 I have been able to locate and purchase. Ruby is always plus for any Blenko that I can find.

 Hope this will help your readers find one for their collections as well.

  1. How do I learn more about Bruce S. And his B lemon? Does he collect other glass?

  3. Annu, I do not sell glass in general. I collect only Blenko now but I sometimes do find some other great art glass while searching for Blenko. There is a little information and my collection on the Blenko project website under "Collections". You can go back through the old blog posts and see many of the pieces that I have been fortunate enough to find over the past fourteen years of collecting. Our collection has grown to the point that I am trying to enjoy it through my photography. Shelley and I agree I have almost reached the maximum number I can display in an uncluttered fashion. I currently post new photos on a regular basis on the Blenko collectors Facebook page which you can join too. It is a closed group overseen by Jim Heffner, a collector from Florida.
