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.

Mother's Day - Pink Blenko

Hillary
Will Blenko make pink this year for Mom's Day?

Carolee,
I wrote to Katie Trippe  end of the week to ask about Mother's Day.  When we get a response you'll see the message posted here.
Blenko is a wonderful place to shop for ALL  Holidays. 
Mother's everywhere appreciate hand crafted glass.  We all do.  Don't you enjoy knowing the glass from which you drink your OJ daily was made by a Blenko Glass employee and it's one of a kind,  a unique glass.

Note:  My parents also appreciate the Blenko Glass inspired cards made by Diane W of Calif and also the post cards made by a local Milton artist -  both are sometimes found for sell in the Blenko Gift Shop.  The cards are not inexpensive.  They are priceless.  hjh
ps  check Blenko Glass website - there may be some mention of Mother's Day.

I spoke with one of the ladies in the Visitors Center and she told me that Blenko is working on pink but it may not be "released" until Mothers Day or later.

Where do you live?
When I call I'm on hold for 1/2 of my call.
If you live in Milton I envy your proximity to the factory.

I've asked about Ice Pink Glass many times. A Blenko employee stated that they probably won't be producing Pink Glass anymore because the Chemical they need to make it costs 100 dollars an ounce.

Unless the Chemical to produce the Pink glass went down in price I wouldn't expect to see it.

When I was there the last time they did have Pink and White Frit glass.
