Mid-century decor styling. Large and funky lead crystal free-form donkey. Shown in Pilgrim Art Glass 1972 catalog, part no. 911. Hand-formed in heavy lead crystal.
The ad copy shown on the same Pilgrim Art Glass catalog as this crystal donkey says it all:
What makes Pilgrim lead crystal special? All of the material used in melting lead crystal are of the purest quality, uncontaminated by any foreign substance. The lead ingredient considerably increases the density of the glass – making it heavier – and enhancing it’s power to disperse light, giving PILGRIM LEAD CRYSTAL unrivaled sparkle and brilliancy. Sizes range from 5″ to 7″.
This beautiful free-form vintage lead crystal donkey is 7″ long and 5.5″ tall. No damage. Approximately 45 years old. Excellent condition.
Rarely seen Pilgrim Art Glass lead crystal donkey. Very hard to find with tail and ears intact. Highly collectible!

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.
