I have been collecting glass insulators for years. I have always wanted a Blenko glass piece. When I showed my wife the Large Tangerine Owl Critter. No question. This was the one. We absolutely love it! It sits by our cactus collection and collects the light from the grow lamp. We love that it is handcrafted in West Virginia and not an overseas factory. From Seattle, Washington to Milton, West Virginia, Thank You!! We are so happy to have our Owl Critter around!!
We have given several water bottles as wedding gifts and without fail, the couples love them! They say it is a unique gift that will remind them of us.
We scheduled a visit to the Blenko factory as part of our Autumn road trip in 2025. This decision ended up being the highlight of our excursion. From the moment we entered the showroom, the staff of Blenko welcomed us and made us feel quite at home exploring the Blenko factory site.
When we met our guide for the "Sand to Hand Tour", Clove enlightened us with an informative museum tour before walking us through every aspect of glass production at Blenko. At each stop from the "Hot Room" to the shipping room Blenko employees were friendly and quite willing to share their experiences and answers questions. The sun catcher gift at the end of the experience was a nice touch as it provided us with a momento that will always remind of the tour and the wonderful Blenko staff members. It was most certainly worth the small amount Blenko charges for the experience! And yes, we did conclude the visit with a few purchases.
Bought it as a gift for my wife as she collects Blenko Water Bottles. She and I both thought this was the most beautiful one yet. Unique color with the large red dot.
