Vintage Hand Blown Emerald Flower Bowl

Jewel-like emerald blown glass flower bowl by Blenko Art Glass, circa 1960s. This lovely flower bowl was hand blown with thick glass with the pontil mark in the inverted center of the seat. The ruffles were tooled by hand after the form was blown out. The ruffles are distinct from vase to vase… the number of ruffles varies and they are always shaped slighty different because they were done at the artists whim. The free-form ruffles help hold your flower stems in place.

The bowl bmasures 6″ round, 4½” tall, widest girth of 18″. It weighs 2 lbs.

    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.
