Exquisite
color, skilled craftsmen, and creative designs have made Blenko famous
in the ancient craft of hand-blown glass. Over the years, talented designers
have developed contemporary new designs for our skilled artisans, who
have learned the difficult techniques of glass blowing through many years
of practice.
The uniqueness of hand-blown glass cannot be compared to that of machine-formed
glass - a process which produces items all exactly alike but without character.
Because our glass is made in small batches and our processes are performed
by hand, it is common to observe small air bubbles, lines or individual
marks left by our craftsmen. These are not flaws - but rather the distinctive
nature of the hand-made process - which identify and magnify the uniqueness
of each piece of glass.
In a world of increasing automation and standardization, we at Blenko pride
ourselves in paying particular attention to the forms and designs, which
stay true to the tradition of hand blown glass. We all need - now more
than ever - hand made objects that are unique and inspiring.
For over 100 years Blenko has maintained the tradition of hand made glass.
They are based in Milton, WV.
