Where to buy Blenko?

Hilery,
I'm in Scottsdale, Ariz   Its much to expensive to pay for heavy Blenko to be shipped to my home.
Are there dealers closer to me?
I'm fearful to purchase on ebay.
Thank You.
Susie Wicker


Sussie,
    This is a great time to start purchasing Blenko Glass.   They have recently hired a design team, that is energetic and the product has never been better.
    www.blenkoglass.com  ( Blenko Website)  has a feature that allows you to enter your address and they find the nearest dealer and then provide you with his contact information.
   Thank you for your interest in BLENKO GLASS.
   Blenko has been making fine handcrafted glass for more than 100 years.

BLENKO GLASS New Lamps.

Blenko's New Design team has been busy - check out the www.blenkoglass.com website.

My favorite of the new items are the table lamps.   Since 2007  I've read notes from you asking about table lamps and shades and more importantly finials.

This team is addressing those needs.   If you haven't been to the Milton, WVa factory store - gift shop, you'll be surprised.  The gift shop is filled with colorful glass elegantly displaced.

Dean Six is an artist and a perfectionist - the gift shop improvements are a result of his desire to have things perfect for you the customer.   

Stack ‘em high!  This towering table lamp is likely to turn heads.

Matched with a mini cube finial and a locally sourced cherry wood base, the fixture stands approximately 36” tall. Assembled with an 8” harp, choose brass or nickel finish, fits a lampshade with a spider fitter. 

Lampshade sold separately 18”x17”x10” (Bottom Diameter, Top Diameter, Height) brass spider fitter, in Natural Burlap or Warm White Linen.  ( description and photos from www.blenkoglass.com)

Valentine's Day - Last Minute Gift Idea

BLENKO GLASS.

The Blenko Glass Gift Shop is located in Milton, WVa.   

Most any day you'll find beautiful reds, and an array of colorful glass.

Purchase a glass object in your Valentine's Favorite Color - perhaps a water bottle

then fill it with flowers, or a platter or bowl and fill  .with  fruit or candies.

Blenko has been making handcrafted glass ( each piece is produced by local men and women), made in Milton by skilled craftsman.

Below are some  BLENKO GLASS items  used in the past for Valentine's Day.

For the VALENTINES in your life. BLENKO GLASS No Calories.

We believe BLENKO GLASS in Milton, WVa.   has something for everyone!

Often it is my go to place for shopping - definitely for last minute out of town  gifts.

For a few years I gave  CHERYL's Cookies ( I discovered Cheryl's during my residency at Ohio State University) it was love a first taste.  BUT everyone is concerned with health and calories.  I returned to BLENKO - the water bottle is much less expensive than 12 Cheryl's cookies in a tin.

For Valentine's Day Blenko often makes a batch of PINK or Red, or something special just for this occasion.

GIVE the GIFT OF HANDCRAFTED MADE IN WVA GLASS this Valentine's Day.
