Blenko Art Glass Mouse Cheese and Cracker Server
Big glass cheese server disguised as a six pound mouse. Designed in 1975 by Blenko Art Glass. Catalog part #7512, made in crystal only. Shown in 1975 to 1983 catalogs. Hand-made in West Virginia, USA.
The thick hand-pulled glass handle is very sturdy and supports the 6 lbs of glass without concern. We tested it. It’s a perfect server for cheese and crackers, or any kind of finger-snack. Cutting the cheese…on the glass…will not cause scratching. Easy to clean.
Retro style mouse has fired-smooth surface and heavy texture on the reverse from the mold. Sits raised a bit from the surface on three small humps. Shown in image under blacklight, glowing light green due to minerals in the vintage glass recipe (It is not Uranium or Vaseline glass). The ‘crystal’ glass (as Blenko called it) is not colorless, it has a tint of very light blue. Measures 13½” long. In perfect, like-new condition.
