Winslow Anderson - Blenko's First Designer

Tim Alonzo of the BLENKO TEXAS COLLECTORS sent the following message:

"Just in case some of you have not heard, Winslow Anderson, Blenko Glass' first designer, passed away , after a long illness. Winslow was 90 years old. We would be doing Winslow a disservice if we only spoke of his work at Blenko, he was a true industrial designer in every sense of the word. '

I'll do a complete post after exams today.

    I know of Winslow Anderson only from your blog
    and a brief encounter at the Haiti
    Art exhibit
    Joan Edwards took me.
    His lost must sadden you, take comfort in knowing 90 is a long life.
    Good luck on your exams
    and with life.
    You haven't mentioned Eon of late, is he still a player?

    WVGUY07,

    I would not think his autographed pieces will go up in value anytime soon. Winslow signed hundreds if not thousands of pieces in his life. He was kind and patient (for the most part) with collectors and was tickled they collected something he designed over 50 years ago. Keep these pieces to remember a kind gentleman and a great designer.

    -Tim

    Will there be a service?
    Did he have a family?
