Blenko West Virginia Birthday Piece & companion pieces
Blenko West Virginia Birthday Piece 2016
"Patience’s Prize"
From the careful
pursuit of brook trout in cool West Virginia streams to bobbing for
bluegills in its countless lake’s and ponds, fishing brings peace and
joy to old and young alike.
Designer, Arlon
Bayliss is a keen fisherman; as are many of Blenko’s workers. Bayliss
says, “Their skill and patience extend beyond glassmaking. We've shared
a decade’s worth of West Virginia Pieces and fish tales to prove it!”
This year’s Blenko
West Virginia Birthday Piece, “Patience’s Prize” is a tall, fish-shaped,
flattened vase with a flared tail opening in Spring Green cased
with Jonquil. A dynamic curve in its body suggests a leaping fish.
Limited to a total of 153 numbered pieces.

blue, green, opal white frit mix.
