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.

This photo from our Texas friend Bruce S.  Over the years Bruce S and his family continue to share photos from their very large collection of  of Blenko Glass. 
Anderson was Blenko's first official designer -  to learn more about Anderson and other Blenko designers  go to http://www.blenkoproject.org/ Blenko Project website.
In lime and amber -  Bruce didn't include a story with this photo.  When you buy glass - if there is a story - add this to your notebook.   Most all Blenko - all the great finds - come with a story - about the maker, the transaction or just the process of obtaining the vase. hjh

Mr. Bruce I keep a notebook with photos of your fine glass
taken from this blog.
Should your glass again be on public display you will make us aware of the event?
I would fly from Washington State to Texas in a quick moment to view this glass.
