I purchased this vase from an auction house. They said it was authentic Blenko but they couldn't produce any proof. It does have a Blenko sticker on it and from what I've read, some Blenko glass art came with that. It is a proper color for that brand as well. I does have a pontil mark on the bottom.

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
Yes, this is a Blenko vase; while the color and presence of a pontil mark are all strong indicators of its authenticity, the foil sticker confirms it.
Blenko vases of this size and age (circa 2000 or later) have been selling at auction recently for between $60 and $90, though private or retail sellers may ask more for comparable examples.
