I have 7 carafes in 6 different colors. Had 8 but one was dropped and broke. I confess that I’ve never used them as carafes but for flowers. Beautiful big bouquets of lilacs with iris, bleeding heart or tulips, phlox, peonies, and sun flowers from my garden. They’re perfect for displaying flowers and I’ve been doing it for years.
We just bought our dream home and one of the things that “sealed the deal” was a built in China cabinet. My Blenko carafes and a few Blenko vases along with antique art glass vases and perfume bottles are now all arranged where I can see them every day.
My wife has been collecting Blenko for years and a tour of the facility was on her adventure wish list. We traveled over 2000 miles just to take the tour. We were both absolutely thrilled. We didn't know what to expect but the visit far exceeded anything we had imagined. We will be back.
Love the Corgi Suncatcher. The details and colors are wonderful. Bought for a gift. Bought a sunflower Suncatcher for myself. The colors are so clear and deep.
Imagine a hundred lightning bugs swirling around your head and this is what you will receive.
Does not go with the other 2 that I have. I was building a collection of the similar vases. Had no idea this was the small version, not the large.
I put this in my window and the sun shining though it brings out the beautiful color. It makes me happy to look at and brightens my day.
I love Blenko, and I have a lot of it. This was my least favorite piece. I did talk to CUSTOMER SERVICE and they are sending me a replacement, so we will see if that one turns out a little better. It wasn’t clear to me whether it was supposed to be somewhat glowing in the dark. Some of the versions I saw online indicated as such. Jar itself was not very vibrant and there was nothing about it that said lightning bug to me. I realize that every piece is custom-made, which is one of the reasons I love Blenko. But this looks like it was either rushed or something happened to the phosphorus when they were trying to add the glow. It looked like it should have been a second.
E-gift cards were a great success. I purchased two and received them promptly. I appreciated being able to get my out of state friend a gift card to be able to purchase one of her favorite things - Blenko Glass!
I love these pieces of art. I grew up seeing Blenko in my mothers house. I always remember my mom saying, "That's Blenko". I was so happy to see that these pieces are still available! Thank you Blenko. PS, I may have just opened up an addiction that I won't be able to control. I need more!
Got this for my beautiful wifey and she loves it!
I’ve ordered four different items; they’re all stunning! Love the quality and beautiful colors. So happy to support WV Made in America artisans.
Please make more creative and classic decanter designs.
Got the water carafe in Aqua, the color just glows. It’s so classic, I will use it as a vase also. Will slowly add more water glasses in the same aqua color. Goes with everything! Very nice high quality thick hand blown glass, I’m so impressed!
Both bowls are what I expected. Love them. Going to give as gifts.
