Blenko Amoeba Dish in Hand-Made Amber Art Glass

Blown glass hoop tumbler set of 6 made of high quality glass with weighted bases. Hooped glass was popular in the Art Deco era through the Mid-20th Century. We are unsure of the maker, but lean towards Scandinavian origin.  Tiffin Glass (USA) made Swedish styled glass much like this too. The color matches Tiffin's Copen Blue, a light smoky blue.
