Ruby Black Handblown Glass Stemware

Pair of tall long stemmed Art Deco goblets handblown in black ruby. They appear black, but if held to a very bright light glints of ruby appear. Black was a difficult color to produce previous to the 1950’s and the color could only be achieved by using dense, dark reds.

Estimated circa 1920’s – 1930’s. Beautiful pair to match with a fine libation for a memorable gift. Maker unknown. Hand-blown and hand-finished in 3 parts. The long thin stem is applied to the bowl and the foot. Heat finished rims. Pontil mark rounded, slightly inverted foot. Medium-weight fine quality glass. Measure 6½” tall (one is slightly taller than the other). Both in excellent condition.

    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.
