Collectible Blenko – EBONY



Ebony (Black Glass) was produced by Blenko for a short time. Ebony was discontinued about eighteen months ago. Blenko shipping reports, ‘ the last ebony was sold in 2004.’

Miss B and I admit black and red are our favorite colors in everything – clothing, glass, automobiles, home décor. Needless to say our little place contains a small collection of
Blenko – Ebony (see photo).

Because Ebony is a discontinued color and production of ebony was limited, Ebony is not always easy to find - - we checked today and not one Ebony Blenko item was available on E Bay.

NOTE: Occasionally discontinued colors/ items show up for sale at the Blenko Visitors Center in Milton. Blenko Staff
During cleaning find one or two older items and then offer these for sale at the VC - - they aren’t labeled - one simply must
Look at all shelves and under the shelves. Also I recommend asking Angie and Diane what ‘unusual items’ if any might be available.

We disagree on Ebony
The 'black glass' isn't one of Blenko best colors.
We adore Black Glass, but Blenko's black is not a consistent black.
