Matt, Wayne Husted is credited with the large floor vases made at Blenko Glass. You may want to consider purchasing at Blenko Glass. Several designs are currently being made, or have been made in the last 2 -3 years. This photo is of my favorite vase, I own this one in Ruby, Cobalt, and the old orange. Tomorrow I'll publish photos of other large floor vases available for purchase at Blenko Glass. My other suggestion for vintage is to check out the Blenko Glass inspired websites - look for photos you like, then either hire a glasshunter, or start going to estate sales. You might also check out Kissin Kate's website, Purple Moon (Charleston, WV) and Trophy Hair (Charleston, WV) .
Good Luck!

You want to be careful when placing Blenko decanters in sunlight. Although beautiful in direct sun, the decanters tend to "sweat" inside causing mineral deposit stains that are not easy to remove.
Checked out the new Blenko site. Nice! Like the way they show the rounds, bricks and sheet glass. Nicely done. I like no.1209. Looks like it is mother of pearl or the next thing to it.I have seen all of Hillary's large glass bottles with stoppers, they would look lovely setting in window seals. You could mix and match and add smaller bottles. Is winter here early? The trees have finally peeked I do believe. Rain, rain, rain! It does get boring sometimes.Well who is going to win the big football game between WVU and Marshall? We all know who I am wanting to win. Did Blenko make any tropies for this most important game? It is near Halloween where are the pumkins and where is the picture of the fruit and veggie baskets? Thanksgiving and all. Blenko does make some wonderful glass fruit and veggies, and the pumkins are great. Better than any I have seen anywhere. God Bless and don't forget to say alittle prayer. Roxie
I am looking to sell a 2009 WV Birthday piece. It is in excellent condition. I believe it's #103. The asking price is $450. Payment would need to be paid by US Postal money order. If you have any questions, please contact me at heatherjcooper@bellsouth.net.
Thank you. Heather
I place a paper towel under each stopper this has worked successfully for over 30 years.

my friend uses dryer sheets in the bottom, but paper towel trapped between bottle and stopper works.
What hours are you online? I would like the opportunity to ping you.

Anyone with odd large decanters or blenko items?
If you have these items plz share photos. I'm a new collector, my knowledge is limited to Pina books and Crain website.
Thnx
Damon Crain, www.vmglasshouse.com, has a large selection of Blenko Architectural Scale items.
Damon Crain must be artist guy that Glasslady loves, as we read about him in this blog every week.

Google Damon Crain. Hilary write about him and uses his photos in the blog as he is 'the' expert on Blenko glass and also a nationally known photographer. She's fortunate as are we to have this source.
When you want quality not quanity shop Damon Crain.
Enuff said.
Hi Hillary,
Thanks for the mention. We do have this piece for sale in Clover Green. It is in the window of "Kissin Kates" on Main St. Hurricane WV.
We also have a limited number of pink ice necklaces and keychains for sale in the store.
