This is a photo of the
1st Edition - WV Birthday Vase being offer
for sale on June 19, and 20th by Dave Osburn
of Osburn Modern Glass.
The cost is $80
The color ( not a great photo) is intense and very beautiful. We'll request a better photo. Or if you purchase this vase - send a photo to theblenkoproject@aol.com
Osburn Modern Glass in Milton is allowing phone orders now and they will be taking orders and selling in the shop this 1st Edition until the 100

I phoned they told me its cranberry and caramel
on ivory.
Sounds like an icecream flabor. Beautiful.
Only 80$ very good price.
THIS IS ONE WE ALL SHOULD BE BUYING. THE #1 IN THE BIRTHDAY SERIES FROM BLENKO IS NOW SELLING FOR $900 IT COST $35 IN 1980.
ADDRESS AND PHONE NUMBER FOR OSBURN?
Whats up with the lack of Blenko photos?
A.
This doesn't appeal to me, the color seems dull.
I plan to phone Dave for this piece.
To own the #1st in a series is always a good thing.
If anyone has a better photo, please send to theblenkoproject@aol.com.
Supporting West Virginia crafts is always a good thing.

Re: Lack of Blenko photos.
Last week we wrote to ask for additonal Blenko photos.
When they arrive you'll see photos of the new glass - until then, we'll post photos of vintage glass or what readers send to the blog.

Hillary, I sent pictures of this BD piece. Its Gorgeous. You will love this B.
I received mine today, and can definitely state that the picture does not do it justice. It is alive with color, a beautiful piece. When I talked to Mr. Osburn and complimented him on it, he stated that they just couldn't seem to capture it in photos very well. Steve
The Osburn Birthday Vase is
outstanding.
I will be proud to own the 1st editon of this new series.
Also the lines and attitudes at Blenko have declined in the 5 years we have been 'blenko addicted'
If you haven't ordered the 1st editon, do so now, you will not be disappointed with the product.
Steve, if you have a better photo
send the photo to Glasslady.

Why not ask your newspaper to do a story about Osburn and this new Birthday series?
Just a thought.
Absolutely right. You have to have a lot of light and a good eye to appreciate the glass. Ive seen it in person and tried capturing the lot in a few pictures and sent to Hillary for posting. Still waiting for them to come online. You will definitely love the Osburn BD glass B. #3 is reserved for you.
We were given this vase, it is much more beautiful than the photo.
I also heard yesterday that Govenor Joe Manchin has this vase in his office.
Next year I'll be standing in line for Osburn' WV Birthday Vase.
Martha Stewart would call this
" A good thing."
Three cheers for Osburn Glass for deciding to make a WV Birthday Vase.
