Blenko’s shades of colors varied slightly from batch to batch because they made their own glass colors, mixed by hand. This causes the shades to differ a bit from batch to batch.

$140.00Blenko Art Glass Plates Made for Williamsburg Colony in Hand Formed Glass
Big Blenko Art Glass plates hand-made exactly as they were made in 17th Century Williamsburg, Virginia, U.S.A. They measure approximately 11 3/4″ round. The size varies slightly because they were hand-formed.
In the early 1920’s, Williamsburg historians recreated the ‘Williamsburg Colony’ in the city as a tourist attraction. They outfitted the colony with exact reproductions of items used by the early American settlers. Blenko glass received the first glassware contract, and later the contract was given to Leerdam, a Dutch glassworks.
The Blenko Art Glass plates have no chips or cracks. They are in original condition. The rim is folded under. The pontil marks have been ground rough, and the glass is peppered with trapped bubbles and furnace inclusions, just like you’d see in early American glass.
Blenko collectors know that much of Blenko’s ‘colorless’ glass has a very light tint of blue, especially when viewed under bright light. One plate shows a strong stain of blue in the center, one has less blue.

Oversize Mid-Century Decor Blenko Art Glass Jug Vase in Blenko Blue
Mid-Century decor giant vase designed in 1965 by Blenko Art Glass, part no. 6515. Beautiful and rare Blenko blue thin necked bottle vase. Made for only 1 year. Fat ovoid bottle with thin neck and widely flared collar. Shown in Blenko’s 1965 catalog. This item was made for one year only. Scarce today.
Weighs 4.5 lbs, measures 13.5″ tall, 9″ wide with a girth of 26″. It’s a very large bottle. It’s in excellent condition with heavy bottom-wear (bottom wear accumulates where the base of the glass meets the surface it is sitting on, and is expected on old glass). Previous owner put water inside (never a good idea, especially when the opening is so small). Luckily, there are no calcium stains. It is not water damaged. But, since it is impossible to hand-dry the inside of this bottle, you can see some drip shadows (from drip drying upside-down) if you look closely. Surprisingly, the glass is very clean inside.
4″ wide flat collar is tilted slightly on purpose. Looks awesome with dried grasses. Blenko glass is known for its big, thick heavy glass with some air bubbles and straw marks.
