BLENKO - to Collect or Use

Don't believe what your eyes are telling you. All they show is limitation. Look with your understanding, find out what you already know, and you'll see the way to fly.~ Richard Bach (from 'Johnathan Livingstone Seagull')


BLENKO GLASS COMPANY in Milton, West Virginia has been making 'Water Bottles' for a very long time. It is known as the longest running item - made before Blenko had its first designer. Water bottles are available in a dozen or more colors - are an expensive way to start a collection - or to add color to your table.
Many 'water bottles' have become highly collectible - the water bottle with handle, the rose', the ebony, the tequila to name a few. (photos follow)

Blenko Water Bottles - Tequila, Rose', Water Bottle with Handle, Ebony Water Bottle, The WEST VIRGINIA UNIVERSITY ' mountaineer and WVU LOGO,' a multi spout water bottle
with bumps.






This year FIESTA WARE also started a WEST VIRGINIA UNIVERSITY speciality item line. So all Mountaineer Fans have the ability to have both Fiesta and BLENKO.
Only one month left until FOOTBALL SEASON! hjh
