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.

Valentine's Day Gifts - You Respond


Earlier today we got the wonderful photo of Blenko w/sterling silver bell from a Texas reader who shops at Dixie's. . . . now a photo of OSBURN MODERN GLASS located in Milton, W. Va. There is a website and phone number which I will find and post later. This photo is of the VALENTINE"S DAY COLLECT ON designed by Dave Osburn of Osburn Modern Glass - formerly the home of GIBSON GLASS. Dave Osburn was foreman of operations and glass blower/designer for Blenko for over 20 years before opening his open shop. We thank Tammy for this lovely photo.
Yet another wonderful sample of West Virginia Glass for Valentine's Day giving. hjh
Note: If you are sending FLOWERS ask your Florist for BLENKO GLASS containers. The cost is a bit more but the Blenko Glass is a forever gift.

Thank you Jason, most all WV Glass can be extremely beautiful and the colors are what set us apart.
I'll let Dave Osburn know you loved the color- and I'll tell him you make MATEWAN the film, and have an eye for beauty - professional eye.
