Readers Shares her Blenko Orange & Green

All Right! I should be on the road but just had to upload these photos! The orange one is for CAR GIRL! How can you not love this orange glass? I like it because the color was popular in the 1960's and 70's when shape was very organic; well, just plain groovy. From top left clockwise: Viking bowl, end of day pulled (some say stretched) Morgantown piece, round Blenko vase, Viking candy dish.
Two pieces of Williamsburg Resoratation Glass back in the day when it was made by BLENKO. Pottery piece made by a young child in WV to add some texture and interest (but not color) to the Blenko glass. The bust is saying, "Oh, Mother. How lovely. May I have some Blenko Glass?"
