1982 - Blenko Glass - WV Birthday

A photo of the 1982 Blenko Glass - West Virginia Birthday

This was designed by Don Shepard who was at the time the Blenko Glass designer.

The item is crystal with a swirl of cobalt blue at the top (to represent the water in WV)- it has the mountains in the bottom to represent the mountains of West Virginia

Many people think this simple piece is one of the most lovely. hjh

a beautiful obviously too expensive fish bowl.
