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.

"We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.” ~~ Aristotle* borrowed this comment from a Blenko Collector. Don't ya think it fits Blenko! Where excellence is a way of life.
Sad but in US we are into mass more than quality or quantity vs quality. Collectors are hoarders who own thousands pieces w/o value. True collectors own very few but quality is key.
Perhaps follow the suggestion by management to buy from Walmart or TJ Maxx - lmao
Impressive! Doc Glass. You responding to a blog question. If I haven't said thank you lately let me quickly say ' thank you ' for the continued effort involved in running a daily blog. We enjoy the post and the comments. B.G.
Where is the warehouse? Can anyone come or is it open only to collectors? If the sale is limited to collectors, how does one become an official member of collectors? Elliott
In the ole days Blenko didn't spend money on ads or advertisement other than occassional ladies magazine. Now its newspapers and a lot and TV. Paid for with the current budget. Excellent management allows for Blenko now to pay for things they once had to rely on people doing interviews and announcements. Anyway having said this. If you live in the tri state there will be newspaper and TV ads. If you do not then after she reads it in the newspaper glassdoc will tell you. Communication with collectors is something Blenko doesn't often find time for. Subscripe to Herald may be an answer. Wolpert
My long disertation was meant to answer the question when is the warehouse sale. Where is the warehouse sale? In Milton at the factory. You do not need to read this blog or collect all shopacholics and Blenko addicts are welcome. If you buy to resell this is a great opportunity. Wolpert
Wolpert Blenko must be making a great deal of money or they could not afford these things. Profit equals good management. This is a truth that can not be denied. KGT is solely responsible for this growth and success.
KyDoc If they are paying when invoice is received then perhaps your statement is true. If not. Then the debt builds. Regardless the history after closure or success will credit Trippe. Sad Mr. Walter Blenko and cousin invested such a large amount of money and did no long range business plan to include paying creditors or hiring a fulltime business manager to assit the very competent but busy Vice President of .

I wasn't sure who to contact, but thought I would try your blog! Looking for a speaker for a Blenko workshop in Marietta, GA. Lots of interest here, a lot of us would like to learn more! Thanks, Lorna
DH Georgia. 3 years ago I met Debra Allen from your city and state. She collected and was educated in Blenko. perhaps glassdoc will have a number for her. Glassdoc Read a comment calling you ignorant and most especially ignorant in Blenko. My suggestion is ask challenge them to a test of intellectual abilities? Or else remind the person behind anonymous one of you have a terminal degree ie and is is called Doctor. Ralph
