Blenko Glass Company is honored to announce its 2024 West Virginia Day Piece, “Wavelength.” This year’s ‘Birthday’ piece is a 15-inch charger (wide, shallow bowl) in our classic Crystal with intricate white glass powder tracework in a diamond optic pattern to create a beautiful, radiating geometric design. The charger was designed by Creative Director James Arnett to echo and honor the Robert C. Byrd Green Bank Radio Telescope, the largest steerable radio telescope in the world, located right in the heart of the Appalachian Mountains in Green Bank, West Virginia.

The WV Day piece will be available in a numbered, limited edition of 161 available for auction on the Blenko Glass Company website (http://www.blenko.com) starting at noon, Eastern, on Saturday, June 15th. The auction reserve price will be $161, and the auction ends at staggered five minute intervals beginning at 9am Eastern on June 20, 2024, from #161 to #1. This format will allow the largest possible number of interested collectors over time to strategize to land one of these annually cherished pieces.
