"The Williamsburg Restoration Glassware Reproductions made by Blenko are the finest reproductions of eighteenth century glass. Made by Blenko from 1936 until 1966. The items chosen for reproduction were submitted to Blenko where it was copied in exact detail. The sample and the original were then returned to Colonial Williamsburg, where the reproduction was critically examined. If a defect was found the item was returned for corrections. All reproductions had to be made using the same tools, materials, and techniques as the original. John D. Rockefeller, Jr. decided that certain modern companies with outstanding reputations for craftsmanship and excellence would be given the licenses to produce these reproductions.
Fragments of glass were sent to Blenko to be studied. Blueprints were drawn up for each item to be reproduced in the line. Also seen on some blueprints is at least one drawing of a fragment that was used to design the piece. The reproductions are all mouth blown using Cherry molds and hand formed using the wooden paddles. Each piece has its individual charm and reflects the skill of the person that made that one particular piece."
