The Blenko Museum is proud to announce the official launch of its completely re-designed and greatly enlarged website.
Damon Crain the Blenko Museum Curator writes, ' though you will still be able to get there from our old .com address, their new address is the more appropriate www.BlenkoMuseum.orgAs the first organization dedicated to Blenko and the first one to have offered a website dedicated to Blenko history, The Blenko Museum is pleased to re-present to you what is now the most comprehensive website on vintage Blenko glass on the World Wide Web.
Over a year in the works the website now cleanly and succinctly provides all the essential information on vintage Blenko in one location.
It is our intention to be as useful as a scholarly book with the advantage of being free and easily accessible.New features include:- a source of all vintage Blenko catalogs from 1948 onwards as well as many earlier ones- a comprehensive identification guide including the most easy to use guide on identifying colors- dozens of never-before published photographs including images of all museum Blenko exhibition installations in the US.The launch coincides with the publication of an important new article on vintage Blenko glass, published in the spring issue of the National American Glass Club's quarterly magazine. Titled "Blenko, Heir Apparent to the American Art Glass Legacy" the full text is available on the "Resources" page along with all other major Blenko articles of the last 5 years. '
My Blenko Project advisor considers the Blenko Museum website, an excellent source of information, professionally designed and a must for all collectors of Blenko. Even if you don't collect it's a site you'll want to visit.

Great Website Hillary
Thank you for recommending, this site links to our own HUNTINGTON MUSEUM OF ART which houses a large collection of Blenko and W Va Art

Thank you for the comment, BLENKO GLASS Company is quiet fortunate in that there are many excellent website devoted to Blenko and WV Glass- my own, Blenko 4, Blenko Collectors, and Blenko Museum to name but a few . . It is nice when there are links to similar sites.
We have visited the Huntington Museum of Art four times since Christmas break, each visit left us wanting to return. Everyone in the Tri State Area should be very proud of the Huntington Museum of the Arts.

HILLARY
U SAY BUY MADE IN USA
AND BUY MADE IN WV
YET YOU DRIVE A VW
MADE IN EUROPE?
EXPLAIN.
Kenova, WV
also a glass collector
While this has nothing to do with GLASS or Made In USA
The two of you (WVUGUY) seem determined - is it a lawyer's mind set thing? I am addressing this so the emails will stop - - -
I have driven a VOLKSWAGEN since I was 16 - the first one was a diesel engine bug - the new one is also a bug (as you know). . . I will probably always drive whatever JOE HOLLAND VOLKSWAGEN IN SOUTH CHARLESTON WEST VIRGINIA SELLS - because the SERVICE DEPARTMENT is the BEST in the WORLD!
Also Volkswagen were being made in South Charleston (parts) when I purchased the initial VW -
Now stop wasting your time harassing me and start supporting local business and industry.

Ps
When you find a wonderful product
or service department or seller of goods...let me know how much you appreciate their service and tell your friends. Until this moment
I had not told the JOE HOLLAND VOLKSWAGEN Folks how much I have appreciated their excellent service and honest employees.
mistype
let THEM know
is what I meant to say
I wrote let ME know..
let the provider of the good service KNOW..
thanks,hjh

My family has purchased 10 cars in 20 years from Joe Hollan we agree with you.
We also like Blenko.
