Wayne Husted returned to Blenko Glass to create a series entitled Variations. Variations was a series of water bottles - each unique - all designed by Husted. There were twelve in total.
Each subscription was for 3. They were made quarterly. In total less than 50 subscriptions were sold.
The Blenko Project now has photos of the entire Variations collection - which we ( Dr V) plans to add to the website www.blenkoproject.org however, prior to adding these vases we need
to identify the vases.
If you own this series or have knowledge of the series please write to us at
TheBlenkoProject at aol.com.
We need to know what more about the series - what 3 vases constitute a set? Base information.
We have been told four additional vases were made -- these were a variation of the basic 12 / altered only by color . If you have information please share your knowledge.
Blenko Project needs your assistance in properly labeling the 12 vases that make up the Variations by Husted.
Title
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.
