"Magnificent color, skilled craftsmanship and creative design make
Blenko America's most colorful name in glass," touted a Blenko catalog
advertisement. First begun in the late nineteenth century in Milton,
West Virginia, Blenko remains one of the few glass factories in the
United States where modern hand-blown glass is still in production.
Recently, Blenko glass designs from the 1950s and 1960s have caught
collectors' eyes. This book presents an exact, full-color reprinting of
the yearly Blenko company catalogs from 1962 through 1971, thus offering
a complete, well-illustrated record of Blenko glass products, including
original retail prices and current market values. This book is most
useful for the dealers and collectors of glass who appreciate the beauty
and "timely glass design" of Blenko.
