Designer, 1953-1963

Wayne Husted (b. 1927; d. 2022)

Wayne Husted

Wayne Husted was the second of Blenko’s storied Big Four designers – and the second in a row to come to Blenko from Alfred University and NY State’s School of Ceramics, where he studied ceramics and design. Husted had very little experience with glass before coming to Blenko to replace another Alfred graduate, Winslow Anderson. With some few exceptions, most of the wares in the 1953-1962 catalogs are Husted’s designs for Blenko – and his design tenure marked a period of wild and continuous experimentation with form, shape, and finishing. His works in glass were often counterintuitive and difficult to make – but undeniably magical and compelling in their finished forms. Whether it’s his heavily-prunted 597 bowls, or his teapot decanters, or his whimsical bird decanters, Husted’s work is celebrated and deeply collectible. Husted was essentially the first designer at Blenko to make architectural-scale glass – floor decanters with tall topping stoppers that came across the finish line at more than two feet tall. During - and after - his time at Blenko, Husted was a prolific designer for other glass companies and design firms.

“There are so many supporters and collectors out there who are just waiting in line to get a hold off a piece that celebrates West Virginias heritage”

Gorgeous Coastal Addition

The strata vase adds a unique texture and color to our coastal decor. Aside from a solid pop of color, the texture mimics the ripples in water. Love the "movement" it brings to the room.

I have the tallest, blue Strati vase and create bouquets for customers once a week who come to my house to pick up. Using Blenko vases they would never have makes the bouquets special, they return the prior week vase at each new pick up. Filling this vase with tall blue hydrangea is a real knock out!!!
