Description
Rarely seen Blenko Art Glass bowl in the shape of a boat.
The rayed star pattern was first shown in Blenko’s 1967 catalog. This boat form was shown in the 1967 catalog as part no. 673. The part number tells us the ashtray boat form was the 3rd design of 1967. The pattern was shown in the 1968 catalog in a low console bowl form but fell out of the catalogs after that.
Rare pattern in a very rare shape. Produced for only two years. Designed by Joel Myers. Hand-made with thick Turquoise glass, called Blenko Blue by collectors.
Weighs 3¼ lbs. Measures 8″ long and 6½” at widest. The boat “lists” meaning lean or tilt in sailing terms. One side is 2½” tall, the other side is 2¼” tall.
The boat bowl has two indents located on the opposite sides of the rim. Functions as a deep spoon bowl, sauce bowl, candy bowl, catch-all, flower bowl, etc.. In like-new condition.
