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.

Saw this photo and thought about the blog. I think its Blenk and it appears to be a cigar ashtray?
I've seen ashtrays but this is the first bowl for cigar ashes I've seem. Anyone know anything about these? Are there enough so that I might start to collect? I have a collection of humidors. Sam Tyree
Sam I sent notes with the photo to several long time Blenko Collectors - thus far no response. We'll post on the blog, check back for comments. HJH

OF course Blenko made cigar holders.
Mr. WB smoked cigars, as did most everyone of his class during this time.
We own a dozen, I'm forwarding photos to glassdoc.

This isn't Blenko. It is a Viking cigar bowl.
