11 1/2" tall, cased Ocean Blue with a Clover wrap.
In its first collaboration with Bayliss Design Team,
Blenko Glass has created a very special piece to celebrate West
Virginia's 144th Birthday. The team's international experience and fresh
approach to design combines with the unique skills of Blenko's glass
workers. This collaboration has resulted in an object that salutes West
Virginia's blue skies and winding rivers.
Two upward reaching clover spirals wrap around a sky
blue form reminiscent of rounded hills and mountains in a gesture of
freedom and joy. Arlon Bayliss, the team's leader states: "We wanted our
first design for Blenko to be very special. Not only is it a privilege
to work with this great West Virginia company, it's an additional honor
to design a piece that specifically celebrates this beautiful state."
He goes on to say, "This vase was inspired not only by
the area's natural wonders. it's also a symbol of a unique collaborative
experience between our design team and Blenko, and between Blenko and
West Virginia"
Bayliss' co-leader and partner, Mary Jo Andersen adds:
"This has been an incredible experience for us in so many ways. I can't
think of a more fitting 'Thank you' for both Blenko and West Virginia.
