How do you know if Blenko is real?
1 Answer

To know if Blenko is real, first check it for markings. Over the years, Blenko has used foil stickers and sandblasted markings to identify its pieces. Comparing the markings on your piece to pictures shared on trusted online resources is a good way to begin the authentication process. If you notice major discrepancies, your piece may be a reproduction. Next, search Blenko catalogs to find out if Blenko ever produced a piece like yours. From there, you can learn about the characteristics of the specific item and use them as the basis for evaluation. Alternatively, you can consult a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer for their expert opinion. On 1stDibs, shop an assortment of Blenko glass.
