The next seven or eight post, we will be writing about Arlon Bayliss. Arlon Bayliss is the current Blenko Glass designer. We'll also do our daily ' Go to Blenko for the Warehouse Sale until end of the Sale'.
Many collectors agree his addition to the West Virginia Birthday Series - are among the 'best' of this series. Yearly devotee to the WV Birthday - Blenko series wait patiently to for Mr. Bayliss 's new design. Arlon Bayliss understands the Birthday Collectors - he knows we like W.Va. Glass but we expect something very special each year!
The Blenko Project often suggest to new Collectors think search only for the WV Birthday Vases made by Bayliss. This collection ( WVBD/ Blenko ) spans many decades and its difficult to acquire a full collection. Our last count was 8 complete sets ( including the one housed at WVU in Morgantown). If you own a complete set of WVBD/ Blenko please send an email to theblenkoproject at aol.com so we might register your completed set of WVBD/Blenko.
The Blenko Glass Warehouse Sale continues today and each day this week. If you haven't been to Blenko. Plan to go this week, the Warehouse Sale is like no other!

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.
