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.

Huntington Museum of Art - Huntington, W.Va.

Can you identify these pieces of art? Are they BLENKO? If so, what year and who designed. The Huntington Museum of Art located right off the Inter-state has over 600 pieces of BLENKO. The Museum has a very large American Glass Art Collection. A drive to the Huntington Museum should be on your schedule, take the children or grandchildren, or borrow a child for one of the 'kid friendly' activities. . .expose the 'youth' in your life to museums and art of all forms - early - its never too early. The Huntington Museum displays change frequently. Visit and write to tell us about your favorite display or collection. You'll find the staff very helpful, very non intrusive. hjh

Both are Blenko, both by Wayne Husted. The bottom piece shows up on the Blenko Collector's site, under his name in the Designers page. I have a rooster, like the top piece, in jonquil. Believe it is #6145.


I'm enjoying your blog very much
