Heart of Glass - Blenko Glass

Blenko Glass is a West Virginia treasure that spans generations. Nothing symbolizes the state of West Virginia better or more beautifully than Blenko Glass. We will discuss current and former craftsmen and designers and how important it is that Blenko and West Virginia glass be appreciated and valued by the younger generation.

Show and Tell

Blenko or other WV GLass - Do you have a 'great piece of Blenko or WV GLass ? Send a photo, tell us about the glass. Also if you have found a great place to buy glass - WV glass of course - new or previously owned - let us know. I get emails about where to buy...and honestly I live in Morgantown, West Virginia most all year long. I also am a college student with very little disposable income, and to be honest, I am NOT a shopper - so I am asking for your help. What are the best places in the Huntington - Charleston area for Glass Shopping? Note: If you send photos to be published make certain they are not copywrited photos.

The Purple Moon in Charleston has a great selection of vintage Blenko as well as other West Virginia art glass. I've seen pieces in there I have not seen other than in books or online. Check 'em out! The shop is right in downtown on Lee Street between Summers and Capitol Streets.
