*Blenko Glass Company, located in Milton, West Virginia, is known for its artistic hand-blown glass. Blenko began to produce stemware and tableware in 1930. Change came in 1947 with the decision to hire Winslow Anderson as a full-time design director. The work of the company's first designers achieved critical acclaim, including having several of Anderson's designs receive the Museum of Modern Art’s Good Design Awards in 1950, thereby ensconcing Blenko as a leader in modern American glass through the 1950s and 1960s. Blenko's "Historic Period", the focus of collector and cultural interest, begins with Anderson in 1946 and includes the work of John Nickerson up to 1974. The second designer, Wayne Husted, did much to propel the company into the forefront of cutting-edge design, notably including pioneering the concept of "architectural scale" designs. In 1964, Joel Philip Myers, Husted's successor and founder of the Studio Glass movement, further improved the company's importance and reputation by directly engaging Blenko with Studio Glass. less
