Recently acquired at a local flea market:
A limited edition of Blenko's #384 water bottle in Cherry Blossom which is similar to "splatter glass" - apparently this one is made with pink & white frit.
Marked with the Blenko logo on base with "2017" both etched & stamped on base. The "24/500" is also etched on the base. The iconic Blenko foil label is still affixed to the neck.
I am currently trying to find information this piece's history from Blenko.
Absolutely gorgeous! What a find!
I have found only one other piece like this one & it was offered at a charity auction in 2014 for a donation of $240.
Waiting for Blenko's response.
This is fabulous!
DC's public radio station, WETA, offers a Blenko cherry blossom limited edition piece every year for high donors.
Nice. I had a chance to pick up one like this at a local thrift shop for $6 a few months ago, but it had a manufacturing flaw on the bottom, so I passed on it since I already have half a dozen of these in other colors and they are good sized so take up some space. I didn't research it until the next day and found out it was something special. D'oh! I saw it on a Friday and looked it up on Saturday and shop was closed on Sunday. It was gone on Monday. Of course.
