BLENKO- 2023 West Virginia Day Collectors limited series large cloche seconds

Collectors Item Hand Blown Glass Made from wood & coal Blenko.com : 'Happy Birthday West Virginia! Celebrate West Virginia's 160th birthday with a beautiful piece of Blenko! Designed by Blenko's Creative Director, James Arnett, this piece calls to the long history - and the long geological history - of West Virginia coal: from protean bogs and ancient forests to the fuel that lit America. The piece asks questions about how we think about and preserve the fraught aspects of our energy past, and the costs in human lives and future time of our love affair with coal. The piece uses locally reclaimed West Virginia woods in contact with the striking flame gradation of our Tangerine glass bell jar dome, all protecting and enshrining a dense and hand-satined piece of our Spring Crocus glass ‘coal.’ Topping the bell jar dome is a Turquoise flame, the cool color of high heat.'
