A great 1953 catalog from the famous West Virginia glass maker. Pieces include hurricane shades, punch, cocktail, and pitcher/tumbler sets, an unusual steer head wall pocket or vase, planter and regular bookends, snack "skillets", glass chips, globes or bubbles, vases, bottles, dinnerware, many tumblers and goblets, ashtrays,"pear" bud vase, baskets, fish vase or aquarium, candlesticks, and many more. Five pages of lamps. Each piece pictured has a description with optional sizes and prices.

As was the original, the reproduction catalog pages are printed in black and white except for two sepia pages, one of which features tumblers. The back cover has a color chart - in color. We have retained this design. There are 26 pages plus introduction and color covers - much longer than the catalogs of the 1940's.

Just visually, this is one of the nicest Blenko's we've seen.

We have digitally reproduced the original catalog at an extremely high resolution, and printed the pages on a heavy gloss stock reminiscent of the original. This is not a photocopy - our methods allow us to retain an unusual image clarity and depth of detail. Some of our fine reproduction catalogs are already in museum research collections.

This reproduction catalog is intended as a permanent reference work. The true spiral binding, unlike a comb binding, allows this book to remain unharmed when left open at the desired place. Heavyweight clear vinyl covers protect the front and back.
