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.

BLENKO




At the Blenko Collectors Conference Mr. Walter Blenko spoke of his involvement with the Company and the plans for the future of Blenko Glass. He spoke about the Blenko Collectors and gracious people who buy and support Blenko. If you're reading this you probably fall into the category of Blenko 'devotee' . . .and are also very grateful to Mr. Walter BLenko and the Benko Family for their involvement in Blenko and keeping Blenko Glass alive and well in Milton, Blenko is the only manufacturing business in Milton.

Blenko Glass continues to meet the demands of the market with new products 0r new old products. The Visitors Center Gift Shop always has over runs and sometimes one of a kind items that were 'expermentail' its a great place to visit and to shop for gifts.

The antique department always seems to have some new product - bricks, lighting, this a very exciting time to visit Blenko. If you are in the market to build or remodel as your contractor to include BLENKO GLASS give Don Lemley or Brett a call and ask what products are available.


The tableware line is also new - the 2006 -7 line was designed by the Bayliss Team - the entire line can be seen on the Blenko Website. .
NOTE: RE: HALLOWEEN (my favorite Holiday)
The Visitors Center has PUMPKINS in many colors (see photos) . . . and many one of a kind items.

if so post it. If I see you on campus I want to say Hello.
Unless you are wearing a big

A white coat photo would be good.
