I need help identifying these two vases. I'm going to sell them, but hate to do so without any knowledge on them. I don't want to sell them as old when they aren't, or sell them as new when they aren't.
Anyone know the maker, pattern name, age?
Any info is greatly appreciated! Thanks so much!

These are both about 7.5 inches tall and are pretty heavy.
Anyone? and by the way.... I think these are kinda ugly, and the sooner I sell them the sooner I can buy more Blenko. :) lol
I hate to say this but I think a friend of mine has some she got from Pier1. But maybe yours are old:) I love Blenko too! What do you feel the pieces are? I bet your gut instinct is right. Cant wait to see what you find to replace them.
My gut says they are new. lol I'll post a pic of my new Blenko piece I bought after selling some slip shades on eBay that I had picked up for a buck... they sold for a little over $100. Can't beat that!
Nice! Ebay has been a bummer for me lately, last few things I threw up did not sell. I have some vintage clothes up now I guess things could turn around. Oh yhea almost forgot the new Blenko is lovely!
Thanks! I do hope eBay turns around for you. I typically buy, not sell. lol
