The reason this site exists...
Four
Blenko glass collectors got together to attempt
to build the ultimate web site about
Blenko glass. We all agreed that
the ultimate web site would be correct, simple to navigate, provide lots
of clear photos and be uniform.
Old
Blenko catalogs have been a huge
resource for putting together color information including years and
specialty lines. We have also been extremely fortunate to have several
designers assist us on their own pages. We are grateful for their
assistance.
We welcome
your comments and questions about the site. Our goal is attainable,
please join us in our quest.
