The latest West Virginia Day Piece is inspired by both the calm of evening AND the promise of a new day with its complementary orange/blue color scheme and graceful wings.
The vessel suggests mountains at dawn as sunlight streams joyfully through early morning clouds. Clear blue sky and bright orange sun celebrate the beginning of another fruitful day.
It also implies evening, when dusky hills undulate through shafts of sunlight and ribbons of mist; owls call and rivers trickle through peaceful valleys.

You didn't write for a while, does this mean the dog is not OK?

Honest answer request.
Do you find this collection to be
beautiful, artistic, and highly collectiable?

Dr. Bob,
Our family friend Dr. Shan
arranged for Ms B to have very high quality care at OSU - Ms B is wearing a fashionable cone- receving eye drops three times a day, required beauty rest and special chicken treats.
Thank you for asking. We apologize for not updating her conditon. Sometimes Dental School becomes a full time job.

Sol,
My very honest answer is:
The Birthday Collection is highly collectible as it is a 3 decade collection - there were less than #145 made of each item. Making this collection one of the longest running, and most limited glass collections.
RE each item - some I love, some are very delicate, I particularly love the ones with mountains in the bottoms - I like the pieces that hold flowers well - HOWEVER its all subjective my least favorite piece is the huge blue pitcher with gold handle and last evening a 65 year old MD from Maryland was telling me this is his favorite piece, he loves the size, the feel and the ruggedness of the piece. It's art Sol. Thank God - we all - have difference taste, and views.
The 2008 will be sold in a few weeks, as always it'll go quickly - and the value will immediately double.
Great Collection - Great History - WONDERFUL GLass Company
BLENKO GLASS.
Hmmm ... it is pretty ... but I'll be at the annual Public Defender Conference when the piece gets released. Oh well, I don't need to collect one more thing now do I?
Hillary, no doubt the Birthday Piece is really very classic very artistic and color layer is too good and I love your description of the Bday piece just brings it life..
Good to know Ms B is doing well.

U are forever promoting WVU and Manchin.
Read the newspaper? What are your thoughts about this degree scandal?
H.
I forgot to write about the glass.
Beautiful. Worth the 2 hour drive to Charleston. I like the price also, Blenko should be charging a great deal more. People sell these items, after the 20th for $400 and $500 up here.
This collection is new for me, but I now have almost a dozen.
Keep writing and I will keep buying.
Why no link from the Blenko web page?
annonymous H.
I will write only this one time about his - so SPAMMING - will not
add to the response.
WVU - The Manchin Family, Everyone, has been harmed by this - the misunderstandings, the bad press, the not good decisons. BUT our discussing things we know nothing of
will not help. Let's pray for everyone involved - that the resolution will be the best thing for WVU and will bring peace to all involved.
Thank you for writing but please keep comments focused on GLASS.
Just OK.
