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.

Myers Pitchers
HIllary,
Myers designed pitchers. On the left is an Olive Green Blenko # 645(10") and on the right is a Turquoise Blenko #6415 (12 1/2"). Both of these I picked up as mis-lists on Ebay last fall. They make a striking pair with their optic panel sides.
Enjoy,
Bruce

blenko glass has to report on chap 11 plan at sept 2, 2011 2:30 pm bankruptcy courtroom A case 3:11-bk-30332 doc 151 filed 7/3/12
BRUCE LOVE LOVE LOVE YOUR PHOTOS AND COLOR COMBINATIONS. ANONYMOUS: Sept 2 2011 was a long time ago - Blenko is doing great. GET YOUR HEAD OUT OF THAT BUCKET OF S... MOUNTAIN RITA
When can I expect to see the remainder of Blenko catalogs published to the blenkoproject website? I have over 500 pieces I need help in labeling. Marylee
Marylee: Volunteers (like me) provide scans of their personal catalogs. The Blenko Project website is then updated by more volunteers. Until and unless someone shares the older catalogs with Hillary and her webmaster, there will be nothing to update. Earlier catalogs (from 1959 - 1961, 1962 to 1983, and 1984 - 2001) are available in three books by Leslie Pina, all in print on Amazon: Amazon Blenko books. They are not complete reproductions, but have the majority of the catalog pieces produced during those years. With 500 pieces to catalog, I think you might well invest in those books until the website is updated.
Email from Blenko says that they will have Pink Ice at the Festival of Glass the first week of August. Also a 6 inch mini water bottle will be added to the product line starting at the festival. A special limited edition handled water bottle in Turquoise and in Yellow are also available along with a Topaz Mandolin. I am guessing that Hillary will have a post and maybe some photos soon!
Hello, I am the person who is helping hillary with blenkoproject website. can you be more specific in your issues with the website, so I can address them one by one. Thanks, V
The website can't show you what it doesn't yet have. The gentleman helping with uploading will be adding the 1970's catalogs soon. Catalogs from 1948 to 1961 can be found online at: Blenko Archive catalogs
QUESTION: On the literature for Fstival of Glass Andy Blenko is listed as Vice President. On Blenko Project Kate Trip is listed How many VPs does Blenko have? Alice C.
before I forget 'thank you' to everyone involved in having the blenko catalogs on line. I use blenko archives for older stuff this is great for newer glass. Elle

Sorry, the link to the Blenko catalog reproductions didn't work. The corrected link is: Blenko catalogs on Amazon

I don't know if the link is working for anyone else, it isn't for me, so I will try something else: Amazon Blenko catalogs
Diane
I don't want to pay for catalogs I just want to see them.
Thank you
I can't make your website give me older than 80s catalog.

QUESTION:
On the literature for Fstival of Glass Andy Blenko is listed as Vice President.
On Blenko Project Kate Trip is listed
How many VPs does Blenko have?
Alice C.
Perhaps they have multiple VPs
the google link to Katie says she is VP and Hilary also blenko.org says
so I believe she is and so is Andy.
before I forget 'thank you' to everyone involved in having the blenko catalogs on line.
I use blenko archives for older stuff
this is great for newer glass.
