Blenko Furniture

American

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, decanters and other vessels and objects — particularly those produced in the 1950s and ’60s — which range from jewel-like blues and greens to brilliant reds and yellows.

The company was founded by William J. Blenko, an English immigrant who was apprenticed to a glassmaker in his native London as a young man. Blenko developed expertise in the production of rondels, the round panes used in stained glass windows.

Blenko's interest in the potential of natural gas to fire glass furnaces led him to Milton, where abundant reserves of the fuel had attracted a pool of skilled glassblowers. Under the name Eureka Glass, his company began making window glass in 1923, and in 1925, he was joined in the business by his son, William H. Blenko.

When the Great Depression quelled demand for stained glass, William J. Blenko brought local Milton glassblowers into the company to begin producing stemware and tableware, products for which the company, which changed its name to Blenko in 1930, is now best known.

Up until the end of World War II, Blenko’s tableware designs were fairly straightforward, and they sold well at American department stores such as Gump’s, in San Francisco. The company was also commissioned in 1930 to produce a line of reproductions for Colonial Williamsburg.

In 1947, the company hired as its art director Winslow Anderson, who introduced artful, fanciful and modern vessels and objects in vibrant colors. This began what collectors refer to as Blenko’s “historic period.” A number of Anderson’s designs were honored by the Museum of Modern Art’s Good Design Awards in 1950, and throughout the 1950s and ‘60s, the company enjoyed robust sales and critical acclaim. The forms Blenko produced during this period followed the contemporary vogue for biomorphism, or organic modernism, which favored rounded and fluid shapes inspired by nature.

One of Blenko’s most influential designers, Wayne Husted, who was active from 1953 to ’63, is credited with aligning Blenko’s products with the prevailing mid-century modern aesthetic by pushing the envelope on both form and color, particularly in his wedge-cut and Spool decanters and his Echoes series.

Joel Philip Myers, who designed for Blenko in the 1960s, brought a sense of whimsy and visual excess to the product line, in keeping with the psychedelic look favored during the period.

Blenko Glass still produces many of its classic designs in items ranging from stemware and tableware to decorative objects and ornamental decanters.

Among collectors, pieces created under Husted’s creative direction are of special interest. The company has come to the attention of younger audiences through the documentaries Blenko: Hearts of Glass and Blenko Retro: Three Designers of American Glass, both of which aired on PBS. Blenko also designed the glass award trophy for the Country Music Awards.

Questions About Blenko Furniture
  • How do you know if Blenko is real?
    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertAugust 29, 2024
    To know if Blenko is real, first check it for markings. Over the years, Blenko has used foil stickers and sandblasted markings to identify its pieces. Comparing the markings on your piece to pictures shared on trusted online resources is a good way to begin the authentication process. If you notice major discrepancies, your piece may be a reproduction. Next, search Blenko catalogs to find out if Blenko ever produced a piece like yours. From there, you can learn about the characteristics of the specific item and use them as the basis for evaluation. Alternatively, you can consult a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer for their expert opinion. On 1stDibs, shop an assortment of Blenko glass.
  • How can you tell vintage Blenko?
    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertOctober 24, 2024
    To tell vintage Blenko, conduct research using trusted online resources to try and date your piece. To be considered vintage, Blenko glassware must be between 20 and 99 years old. Pieces that are at least 100 years old are antiques. Because many Blenko pieces are unmarked, the best way to identify them is by examining their physical characteristics, such as color, shape and style. Looking through the maker's catalogues — available to browse online — can give you an idea of your glassware's approximate production year. Alternatively, you can have a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer perform the dating process. Find a collection of Blenko glass on 1stDibs.
  • How can you identify Blenko glass?

    1stDibs ExpertMay 14, 2024
    To identify Blenko glass, look for markings, usually found on the bottom. Over the years, the American glassmaker has used dozens of different markings, so the best approach is to compare yours to images shared on trusted websites for reference purposes.

  • How do I tell if my glass is Blenko?
    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertAugust 15, 2024
    To tell if your glass is Blenko, look for the maker's mark, which usually appears on a label affixed to an inconspicuous area of the piece, such as the interior or bottom. The American glassmaker marked most of its pieces, but some weren't marked, and others may have lost their labels over the years. If you can't find a label, compare your piece to images found in Blenko glass catalogues available through trusted online resources. A certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer can also be of assistance. Find a wide variety of Blenko glass on 1stDibs.
