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.

Reader Question - can you help?




As seen in the 1994 & 1995 Blenko catalog, the 18 fingers (with hobnails) large bowl.










My 2 questions are:

-1) Was this bowl made by one of Blenko's designers??

-2) Does this bowl have a number and name??



I LOVE YOUR BLENKO PROJECT website. Super, super good!

Many thanks, Susan in Western NC

This is item #942, made in 1994 and 1995, which makes it a Hank Adams design. Page 18 of the 1994 catalog says it is not available in Antique Green, Azure Blue or Orchid, which means it’s available in all the other colors made that year. Page 18 of the 1995 catalog lists it in Crystal, Emerald, Cobalt, Amethyst and Topaz. It cost $20 at the time.

Hope that helps!

I bought this item 2 months ago
at VC in Milton - age is questionable with Blenko
they reproduce at will.
