CRYSTAL with gold and blue applied.....very simple. This one is also at the Visitors Center in Milton, W.Va.
Remember the 2008 WEST VIRGINIA BIRTHDAY Collectors will go on sell soon - check the Blenko website often for details. I'll also try to get Katie Garrison to allow us a photo or description when its available.
If you haven't started a BIRTHDAY COLLECTION - 2008 is a great time - Bayliss did the 2007 line and the 2007 Birthday piece both have been very well received. Beautiful items.

ReplyDeleteRandy RIder is one of the best glassworkers Blenko has - he is currently shop foreman.
Could be the person who owned the glass before you - ask him to sign.
He's been at Blenko most of his adult life. Wonderful, colorful, entertaining fella, and so very talented. Check out the PEOPLE of BLENKO - I think we did him last year.
