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.

Heart of Glass Blog. Blenko Glass

Blenko Pitchers - for display or for daily use.  
My grandmother Homburg loved pitchers - they lived in Wheeling, Wva
When she was a young girl there were 2 dozen glass makers within a 10 mile radius. 
She also collected pitchers - I recall her saying many times ' One can never have too many pitchers?'   
This ruby red 418 - looks much like the vintage ruby pitcher on display in my kitchen - perhaps this ruby is a bit brighter.  
This is a classic, a vintage pitcher - available in colors no one can resist.
I'll post other colors later this month.  .

Our best selling Classic 418 dimple drinking glasses now have a matching pitcher that packs a punch!
Easy to handle and available in several colors allowing you to mix or match.
Pitcher stands 10” tall.
*Ruby and Pawpaw are striking colors so a natural variance of hue occurs with each small batch. All received orders are matched, but if placed at a separate time may have a tonal and unique characteristic.
