    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.

    Mid-Century Murano Art Glass Bowl with Macchia Décor

    Eye-catching 1950s mid-century Murano art glass.

    The decor method is called Macchia in Italian. English translation is “stain” or “mark”. It was accomplished by applying drops of colored glass onto the surface of the hot glass which is then worked into the glass by hand to create the pattern.

    Thick, chunky, hand-formed quality glass. The rims are folded down, the base is polished flat and when you look close you can see three heart outline shapes on the exterior glass added during the hot decorating process. This shape is an icon of mid-century studio decorative glass. It can be used as an ashtray, candy/nut bowl, flower float, catch-all, and/or candle holder. Measures 5.75″ at widest, 3.75″ tall and weighs 2.75 lbs.
