Blenko Glass Legacy Echoes Through Generations
The Blenko glass family traces roots to 1893 with William J. Blenko and moves forward through four generations led by Rick Huston and Ellen since the 1960s. Their children and grandchildren now collect Blenko pieces, while a library display honors glassblowers and Winslow Anderson’s famed Tangerine horn. A famed piece named The Bent Decanter survived a damaged cut, later winning design awards.
