Glass Mobiles

The Blenko Glass Company in Milton, West Virginia is known all over America for its beautiful decorative accessories.

One item not found in the catalogue, but very lovely, and quiet decorative is the Glass Mobiles created by Charlie Harshbarger. Charlie's official title at Blenko, is inspector of glass. However, he does many other things. He makes (assembles) most all the Blenko lamps, and he creates Glass Mobiles.

The Mobiles are 'special order' only and Charlie will make them in most any color the customer wants. I am attaching photos of two mobiles Charlie made for our family. One is a WVU Mobile - all blue and gold colors. The other is a mobile of purple, ruby, and cobalt which hangs in the living room of my parents home in Charleston, West Virginia.

The cost of the mobile is between $150 and $200 depending on glass color and size of the mobile.

Plan to wait between three and five weeks for delivery of your glass mobile.
