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.

Blenko Glass. What To Buy for a Beginner's Collection. Blenko Blog.

Hillery,
I am new to Blenko Glass.  Tell us where to start, what should we buy?
The ebay and online stores seem to have more glass than the Blenko online store.
Also how do I know if it's Blenko?
Dick H.

Dick,
   Thank you for reading, and your for question.
   Good Questions.   If you purchase from Blenko www.blenkoglass.com  you'll know its Blenko.
Also if you purchase the Blenko inspired books, or download the catalogs www.blenkoproject.org you will get a feel for what's Blenko.  .We enjoy the Blenko Glass Facebook pages, and there are a number of Blenko Collector groups on Facebook.   Speak with older collectors,  or just troll the pages and observe the glass and listen to the chatter.
   When friends ask,  I recommend starting with books about Blenko    The more you know the better decisions you'll make. Often you can find books 50% off retail.
    We always tell folks to buy only 'what they love'.   I'm loving the new Paw Paw color from www.blenkoglass.com the Blenko Glass on line store.

An item available in the Blenko online store featuring the Paw Paw color I mentioned.  


This is the latest book containing Blenko and WVa Glass.
