Inhoudelijke beschrijving:
This reprint of the 1972-1983 Blenko catalogs is the third in the trilogy on Blenko Glass from the early and "middle" years. The year 1983 marks the beginning of the "late" period when the label was changed from the silver foil hand to the square with large B and red dot. The early years of the 1940s through the 1960s are the most popular with collectors of Blenko Glass. However, interest in the 1970s is awakening, and some items from the 1970s are already commanding high prices in the secondary markets both on-line and "in person."
John Nickerson and Don Shepherd were the two staff designers responsible for all of the newly-introduced glass in the following catalogs. Many of their designs were in¬spired by those of their predecessors — those great designers of "cool 50s and 60s glass" — Winslow Anderson, Wayne Husted, and Joel Myers. Others are bound to become classics on their own merits
