Blenko Drinking Glasses and Bar Ware




Hilary,
I broke several Blenko glasses, these are very old. They are bar ware glasses crystal with a circle of ruby.
Can I replace these? Does Blenko still make glasses and what is the cost?

Emily,
Blenko catalogue states 2 styles of water glasses are currently in production. Photos below. Price is $36 from the catalogue may be less at the Visitors Center in Milton, W.Va.
My parents own a couple dozen of the bar ware glasses you mentioned. Today I wrote to Blenko to ask if they are still being made, and if they have available photos.
Check back for the answer.

  3. How is education supposed to make me feel smarter? Besides, every time I learn something new, it pushes some old stuff out of my brain. Remember when I took that home winemaking course, and I forgot how to drive?- Homer Simpson
