| Exquisite
color, skilled craftsmen, and creative designs have made Blenko
famous in the ancient craft of hand-blown glass. Over the years,
talented designers have developed contemporary new designs for our
skilled artisans, who have learned the difficult techniques of glass
blowing through many years of practice.
The uniqueness
of hand-blown glass cannot be compared to that of machine-formed
glass - a process which produces items all exactly alike but without
character. Because the glass is made in small batches and the processes
are performed by hand, it is common to observe small air bubbles,
lines or individual marks left by Blenko's craftsmen. These are not flaws
- but rather the distinctive nature of the hand-made process - which
identify and magnify the uniqueness of each piece of glass.
In a world of
increasing automation and standardization, everyone at Blenko prides
themselves
in paying particular attention to the forms and designs, which stay
true to the tradition of hand blown glass. Everyone all needs - now more
than ever - hand made objects that are unique and inspiring.
For over 100 years Blenko has maintained the tradition of hand made glass. For information on joining the Blenko Collectors Society or for information about their conventions please visit Blenko
