Water Bottle Week.
As a child, I started by collecting Blenko animal figures and Water Bottles.
I hear from many readers they were first attracted to the 'water bottle', #348 is the longest running item in the Blenko Glass catalogue.
Now thanks to Dean Six's innovative new programs, Blenko will be hosting a yearly Water Bottle event. You'll want to plan to attend.
Check Blenko Glass Co web pages for updates. Another exciting event - hosted by Blenko Glass Company Milton, W.Va.

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.
