Blenko Ruby Red Blown Glass Stemware Set of 12 Vintage

Beautiful blown Blenko Art glass stemware set perfect for the holidays. Blenko Catalog page part no. 413. Set of 12. Six have funnel shaped bowls with double knop stems and six have rounded bowls with a single knop stem. Circa late 1950’s to early 1960’s.

Hand blown ruby red glass. The stems, foot and bowl were made separately and applied together. Thick, seeded glass with swirl lines. The “seeded” description means there are many, very tiny air inclusions and some miniature bits of charcoal from the furnace. The swirl lines and the inclusions are a result of old blowing techniques and old glass recipes.

All in excellent condition. Rims are heat finished. Inverted bases with rough pontil mark. Glass is thick. All measure approximately 5″ tall, heights vary slightly because they are hand-made. Each weigh just under 1/2 lb.

Age and maker unknown. They appear to be antique, but could have been made at anytime. It is a possible they are from the early 19th Century. There is no uranium or manganese in the glass, they reflect as crystal under black-light and have a strong crystal ting when plinked. Beautiful full set of 12 wine stems to adorn your celebration table.
