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.

Let's see now, same pieces as "Morning Glory", only difference is color, count as two separate limited editions?

Anonymous said...

Lord have mercy. It's Katie, and Christy is not a Blenko. You people are so ignorant.

someone quickly write an apology to vice president katie garrison trippe BA / VP Blenko

That attitude of
' you people' must work very well in the factory setting!

Hilary
There are 5 or more very rude comments signed Katie
I think you should immediately remove these comments.
No salesperson would make comments to alienate buyers.
I am certain Katie did not make the comments. Please delete these comments.
She called us ignorant and ask us to buy at walmart.
These are not comments that would be made by a representative of Blenko Glass. Please remove.

Does any one ever answer these questions?
What is the color?

I think Hilary is jealous of Katy so she allows negative comments about her often.
Jealousy needs to stop.
Blenko Guild members should speak only of Blenko.

penny said...

OMG - jealous?
Hilary used her stipend as a WVU Foundation Scholar WVU to start the Blenko Project.
Katie did her senior year as an intern at Blenko Glass.
Hilary was a dean list student - I couldn't find this info so don't know about Katie.
The two ladies should have the same goal. The success of Blenko.
One has according to internet a 4 year degree from Marshall and is Vice President of a family owned glass factory.
The other is a doctor of dental surgery again according to internet and was named WVa'a Rural Health Provider of 2011.
Both are very accomplished.
One is a paid employee of Blenko. The other is a paid employee of Dental Clinics. One Blogs about Blenko and the other runs the Blenko forum a chat line on the Blenko web page.
I ask what would Hilary be jealous of?
Have you read any negative comment in this blog written by Hilary about Katie Trippe? I think not.
Does she write negative post about Blenko?
she encourages us to go there to ignore any
problems you encounter and to keep buying.
If you don't agree with this, use the space below and write your own comment.

OMG - Someone thought Christy was a Blenko
how very horrible for the Blenko wannabe.
The Womack family for four decades has been a part of Blenko. Long time Blenko collectors and supporters know this.

ERDOCSeattle said...

Not many docs would want to live in WV or work in a factory.
Penny your comments always bring a smile to my face.

alex said...

Worse things than being called a Blenko.
BTW has anyone heard any news from Rick Blenko?
We saw the new PBS Blenko and
I must state it made me think fondly of Rick and his tux.
Ladies the talk of jealousy is childish. All collectors have days where they solve not the worlds problems but the factory problems,
5 or 6 years ago I had a fleeting thought if perhaps Blenko as Damon to do their marketing sucess might be possible.
Alas we don't make these decisons.
Take care. Anyone go to the warehouse sale?
Perhaps we can talk on Blenko Guild this weekend.

Rick Blenko remains in Milton, has a full travel schedule is involved in local and national film, volunteers with several national groups and remains a well respected member of the community of Milton.
I've heard the same people who once stuck pins in his image now email him weekly complaining of their current situation.
Funny how what goes around comes around isn't it?
The Womack family is Blenko. What would Blenk o be without the dedication of these families? Most Blenko employees have been at Blenko more than a decade. Many are 2nd generation. For many Blenko was their first job and their only job. A life spent at Blenko.
Bill and RIck Blenko are friends of mine and I will forever consider them to be my good friends.
Loyalty was a key ingredient in Blenko's success.

Alex,
Many docs choose to live and work in wild wonderful west virginia.
The state has much to offer.

CPK.collectoroffineart said...

the ' jealous' comments origin must have been bill blenko drive.
Very very charming.
FYI -Anyone visited the south charleston antique mall of late? Carolee bought 2 birthday vases in one of the shops on this street for less than 1k.

Anonymous said...

CPK et al
We had found bday vases for 400. many times.

Who said "we don't see the world as it is, but as we are"?
I doubt either Katie or Hilary think often of the other.

I'm certain if Hilary wants information she would go directly to Mr Bill Blenko if an employee didn't provide. This problem exist only in
the imagination of the person making the comment.

Is the morning glory available?
I phoned today and the lady I spoke with didn't understand what Morning Glory
was.

Dr.BOB said...

No one ask for my opinion but I agree
Katie and Hilary are on the same side.

Anonymous said...

Hilary I heard TIAS and we all subscribe and buy from this site
is owned by the same Damon who once had the blenko museum and the vintage glass store
is this accurate?

Ruby Lane and Tias are they the same also?
Today I also was told the collectors link you listed is in reality a selling site
for ebay.

please change your listing.

he had the glasshouse and glasshouse newsletter for a long time.
Good seller of blenko.

bridgett said...

Frequently I have purchased glass for glasshouse, and also the NYC dealer. Fine quality glass and while the prices are not competitive with flea markets
they are not extreme.
