Making the Festival of Glass 2020 Pilgrim Glass Vase at Blenko Glass Company

Festival of Glass 2020 - Announcements and LIVE Glassblowing:
Introducing the Festival of Glass 2020 Pilgrim Glass Vase!
https://blenko.com/shop/festival-of-g...

This vase is the first in a recurring line of historic pieces meant to pay homage to the glass companies of WV gone by. Aptly named the Historic Glass Preservation Line, we will explore the history of these great glass companies and revive some of their signature pieces to be offered annually at our Festival of Glass.

The first piece in this line of historic preservation belongs to Pilgrim Glass and originally designed by Gene White.

This towering vase is certainly a statement piece for any collector. It is offered in a Turquoise/Crystal Fade

The mould for this vase was purchased by Blenko Glass Co during the shutdown of Pilgrim in the early 2000s.

Pilgrim Glass, located in Ceredo, WV, was founded in 1956 on Walker Branch Road.

Over the decades, Pilgrim gained a well-deserved reputation for its quality tableware and art glass. Today, many of its glass pieces are eagerly sought by collectors. Unfortunately, in 2001, Alfred Knobler shut down the factory due to being unable to find a buyer.
