Neighbor brought these over to put in our garage sale this weekend and I don’t think they are garage sale material. Looked around on the internet but have only found information on the company. Only markings on the bowls themselves are the sticker with the company name. Deep purple coloring, large bowl is 10" wide, 5 1/2 inches deep, 6 small bowls 5 inches wide, 3 1/2 deep. Never used, wedding gift years ago.

Blenko is certainly a not garage sale item. There are many people out there who collect it. If it still has the Blenko stickers and is undamaged they should bring a good price.
The large bowl can bring upwards of $50 and the smaller bowls about $30-35 each (this is in tip top condition). This design is made from a mold so it not quite as valuable as the handblown items, still a nice find in a very pretty color.

Hi
if you do a search on the bay you can see if they are selling or not so that you can make a more informed decision on them. I think they may be from the 1960’s but am not sure.
Good Luck

Hi
The bowls are Blenko and are still being produced. You can purchased the large bowl at the Blenko Factory Outlet for $20.00. The smaller bowl are $8.00 each. Its a salad set. The Blenko factory is outside of Huntington, WV. When I am in that area, I always stop at Belnko and purchased a load of glassware to resale. In addition to first quality glassware, they also sell second quality. You can get some really good buys at the outlets. I buy Blenko at yard sales here all the time.
