What is the famous glass company in West Virginia?
1 Answer
There are actually two famous glass companies in West Virginia: Blenko and Fenton. A producer of hand-blown glass since 1893, Blenko Glass is currently headquartered in Milton, West Virginia, where it has operated since 1921. Among its many illustrious projects are the stained-glass windows it produced for St. Patrick’s Cathedral and the Washington National Cathedral. Blenko is known today for the brilliant colors of its glass vases. Although established in Ohio in 1905, the Fenton Art Glass Company now operates from headquarters in Williamstown, West Virginia. It is famous for its specialty glassware, such as cranberry glass, milk glass and rose-pattern pieces. On 1stDibs, find a variety of Blenko and Fenton glassware.
