Description
Set of Blenko Nile Green Handmade Amoeboid Bowls
Set of two vintage Blenko Art Glass Nile Green bowls. Beautiful, scarce Blenko color called “Nile”. Made in the 1960’s. Blenko part no. 966. These heavy hand-formed shallow bowls were made from the same batch of glass (it was hand-mixed back then). Because they came from the same batch, the colors match exactly. They are being sold as a set.
Both have unashamed air bubbles trapped within the glass. Blenko’s stained glass texture and hand-made style often produced air bubbles within the glass. Trapped air bubbles are expected in most Blenko items. The heart shaped dish has a very large enclosed bubble on the rim. It is the nature of Blenko’s glass and gives it character.
The color of the glass darkens and lightens according to the thickness of this heavy glass. Beautiful color. The heart shape weighs 3.5 lbs, measure 8″ long by 6″ at widest point. Amoeba shape weighs 4 lbs, measures 9″ long, 7″ at widest. Image #8 is a 1960’s Blenko catalog page with these forms.
