Blenko Glass - Multiple Uses


This is an example of Blenko Glass being used during a ceremony or as an award.
Blenko can do almost anything in glass. Hilary you are very correct to suggest readers think of Blenko for these things.
I'd much rather have a pice of colorful glass etched or engraved , than a piece of metal plate.

Why not re publish the photo of your white coat ceremony?
This was a good use of Blenko for an award or celebration.
I suggewsted the same to our staff.

Examples I can think of:
Blenko Collectors Yearly meeting
used a flat 4 x 4
Your white coat ceremony - you published the block of Blenko photo
Gov Moores Office used Blenko
frequently and this Blenko is often available for sale on ebay - with engraving from the 70s.
Trying to learn the new I phone excuse the typos

Do they continue to make these? I thought the antique stuff was no longer produced.

I'd like to buy the Milton Wood Bridge plate, it was a limited edition featuring an artist rendering of the covered bridge near Milton.
Anyone have this?

No Blenko did not do the 4-H that was Fenton ( National 4-H vases produced in 2005).

Are you certain Blenko is doing this?
I was told they no longer provide this service.
