Description
Pre-designer Presentation Urn Designed by Bill Blenko
This is a pre-designer vase, made when Bill Blenko oversaw all the Blenko glass designs. This lovely old vase has a special color, it’s a dark green with a tint of blue. Blenko calls the color “Pine”, or it may be “Peacock”. Shown in Blenko’s 1948 catalog as part #428 L. Shown under bright light in image below, to bring out the bottom wear. Very heavy, solid band of surface contact wear, expected on vintage/antique glass. Circa estimated: late 1930s to early 1940s. It has a soft blob pontil mark. The base is applied to the knop stem, the stem is applied to the bell shaped bowl. There are unintentional small air bubbles within the glass, common on Blenko glass. Color is uniform and free of irregularities.
Heavy, thick glass weighs 3 lbs. Measures just under 7.5″ tall, vase opening is 6 5/8″ wide. Widest girth is 22″.[color-box]More About Blenko Art Glass[/color-box][color-box]More About American Glass[/color-box]
