In 1936 the Rockefeller family was in the process of excavating the colonial Williamsburg settlement, and was finding many beautiful examples of early American glass. That same year, William Blenko Jr. signed an exclusive contract to begin producing reproductions of the glass objects found in the excavation, and continued production through 1966. This important line was Blenko's start to producing dinnerware on a full time basis.

Found on August 09, 2005 in Bloomington, MN.
