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.

What is a good price? What are you willing to pay!

hillary - this horn is on ebay for under $30, I paid $110 last summer for a similar blenko item, the one I bought was signed by WHBlenko. Also on ebay is a water bottle with handle for $31 I paid $145 for one last summer. ??? Is the price of used blenko falling? Should we be buying now? Or will it continue to fall?

Lawrence,
My 'super powers' do not include predicting future values.
My suggestion is to buy from the 2011 catalog.
Blenko is re issuing a number of items, the vintage prices are 200% or more than Blenko's listed price for the re - issued glass.

Note: I own the horn (2) in green and gold. I own the handle water bottle (4) and I paid more than $100 for each. My guess is the Ebay price will increase before auction close.

I was told by Winslow Anderson who designed the horn that the raised end was not part of his design and the pieces with the raised end are
flawed.

Prices in 2nd market are down for all things except gold silver and Prius.
Excellent time to purchase, as new collectors I suggest your research and then buy quality in this depressed market.
About the 2011 catalog items? Well first I would check for quality, and good color, then purchase.
