Blenko Glass Company was founded
in 1893 by William J. Blenko. - Brief history of Blenko´s Historical Glass - (information from Blenko)
Some things don´t change much, like making glass by hand. Blenko Glass Company has been doing it since 1893. After over 100 years of business, we are perhaps the only glass
makers in the U.S. to have been in business long enough to
be called upon to restore our own work.
Blenko´s glass can be found throughout the United States in
windows, lighting fixtures, floors and sidewalks. A few of the
more notable locations are the U.S. Capitol, the Washington
National Cathedral, Rockefeller Center and
Colonial Williamsburg.
Blenko is uniquely able to furnish the historical glass
community with glassware items on a turnkey basis. All we
need is a good set of drawings.
Our shop is staffed by some of the finest glassworkers
anywhere, some of whom have over 45 years of experience.
At any given time we have some 20 tons of clear and colored
molten glass on hand, ready to work. Diversity has been key
to our success and we can make it work for you.
The original name of the company was Eureka Glass
Company. It was called this because William J. Blenko spent
years trying to find a ruby red sheet glass that would not
change colors when painted and fired. When he developed
this color, he threw his arms in the air, and said "Eureka, I´ve
found it!" Hence, the name Eureka. In 1923, his 26-year-old
son William H. Blenko Sr., with wife Marion and two-year-
old son William Jr. joined him in Milton. This is when the
factory really took off.
