What Would You Do - Conclusion

Under this title in a previous post I posed the question of whether or not it was ethical to reproduce one of your own pieces that you'd previously sold as one-of-a-kind. I read the responses and partly because of the them I went ahead and re-did the piece. I matched it pretty closely but I couldn't get the exact Rondel from Blenko glass that I'd used in the original:

(That company is so strange. I mean Blenko not Home Studio. Well, maybe we're a little strange too.) But I did manage to put together a piece that was nearly identical and when the check arrived I sent it off.
It was purchased as a birthday present for an executive director at the National Association of Clean Water Agencies.

Well a few weeks later they sent me an e-mail and said they'd found something else for this coworker's birthday and would I take the piece back and refund their money. I did. I just thought I'd let you know how it turned out. Sooner or later you see everything.
