Announcing BLENKO IDENTIFICATION ! REWARD IS OFFERED.
You do not need to be an expert on BLENKO - anyone with a computer, access to the library, or online reference could identify the glass and receive the reward!
A Blenko Blog reader recently purchased vintage BLENKO at an estate sale. In an effort to identify his purchases he has offered a reward if we will assist him in identification.
There are 4 ash trays, 1 lamp, 4 pitchers, 1 large goblet with twisted stem, a decanter with stopper,
a vase with color design. The owner wishes to know who designed each, and as much information about each item as possible.
On his behalf we are offering 2 gifts. Both signed BLENKO .... one for the first correct response before December 26th
and the other for the email with the most information about the items and correctly identifying the items. Thank you in advance for your response.
We will post the PHOTOS ON Sunday ..send your answers with your email address etc to THEBLENKOPROJECT@aol.com

Title
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.

To everyone who responded to JEDIJAWA's challenge.
Learning new things (smile) can be fun. It did use valuable time - but LAWYERS - Jedijawa is a LAWYER bill by the hour - so perhaps he's billing someone as he writes.
I have questions/ comments:
Lewis: Sol has a voice and uses it. Tell us about yourself.
Ravi what is this instrument - what sound does it make?
40 hour week - I am envious!
Ram - A man who cooks, your signficant other is very lucky!
I also love bookstores and hate ironing! (but) love pressed freshly ironed clothing so I do frequently iron.
Sol: I didn't walk in with my parents -
AE Thank you for playing even tho you didn't enjoy the process. We have a great deal in common - I also love to travel, have 2 many books, and projects and poor judgement re: OS.
Hi Hillary,
Haha but I dont have significant other yet and I am so hoping she will help me out in the kitchen department, let see who is going to be lucky :)
Ram
1 I wear only black beige white or red daily. When not in uniform.
2. I read 4 newspapers each day.
3. I do steps instead of elevators.
4. I like Ram am spiritual not religious.
5. I never trust anyone over 30
6. Detest small towns, and rural living, most animals, and all colored lights.
7. Like jedijawa I wear birkenstock at home w/o socks all year long. Like Dr Bob I find this survey to be dull but I continue to write.
8. Unlike Hillary I consider all of life to be random and interesting. Like Hillary I find Solomons comments to be obnoxious and child like.
