Story
In 1961, the hills of West Virginia were home to a design revolution led by a man named Wayne Husted, who believed that everyday objects should be as daring as modern sculpture.
Maker / Origin
Blenko Glass Company began not with pitchers, but with stained glass for cathedrals, including the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C.
Condition & Value
The glass appears remarkably clear with no visible 'sickness' or clouding from hard water. Value is driven by the designer (Wayne Husted pieces are highly sought after) and the condition of the delicate spout.
