West Virginia 150th Birthday - Blenko Glass

2012  WV Birthday Vases -  Plate made by Ernie Downey a West Virginia
Photographer and glass artist.

This year Mr. Downey will be making a limited number of plates with the 2013 WV Birthday Vase
if you don't collect the WV Birthday Vases   ( the are pricey)  you could start a collection of Ernie's plates.
Check out the Blenko Glass website for additional information re:  the WV Birthday Event.
www.blenkoglass.com.  
If you are a newbie to Blenko Glass collecting email theblenkoproject@aol.com  for a pamphlet with information on hotels,  places to visit, places to shop etc.
Note:  While in WVa  you'll want to visit   THE PURPLE MOON  located  in Charleston, WVa.
Purple Moon has a large collection of vintage Blenko Glass.

    What is the cost?
    Can I phone order? Coming to Blenko is out of the question.

    I sent a notice about the Blenko Glass Company allowing RVs to park for overnight in the gift shop parking lot.

    This should add to the number of visitors.
