Description
Rare Blenko Art Glass Husted Charcoal Chalice Vase
Extremely scarce Husted charcoal modernist vase. Designed by Blenko’s infamous Wayne Husted (Design Director, Blenko Art Glass, 1953-1963).
Hand-blown glass vase in charcoal (rare color) and colorless. It is designed to sit right-side up or upside down. Both ends can be used as the vessel.
Very hard to find…near impossible. Blenko part no. 5411. The 11th design of 1954. The large charcoal bowl is applied to the colorless funnel bowl, or stem. Both sections have a couple of small air bubbles trapped within the glass (normally found in Blenko glass). The rim of the charcoal bowl is heat finished, the base of the funnel is hand-cut and polished. There are a few light scratch marks on the exterior and a rough edge on the rim of the colorless funnel. Glass is clean, no residue stains. No chips or cracks. Light bottom-wear on both rims. Unmarked, no room for Blenko acid etch.
Awesome example of mid-century Modernist glass by one of America’s best glass artists. Measures 10″ tall, 6″ at widest, widest girth of 19″. Weighs 2.5 lbs.
