Bulbous amber tone bottle or jar vase attributed to Blenko glass

About the Item

12.5" tall open mouth jar vase . Attributed to Blenko glass . No chips or cracks , some in the making inclusions visible in the images . Clean interior with no staining or mineral deposits . Overall diameter about 8.5" mouth opening 3.25" . William Blenko started a sheet glass company in 1921, in Milton, West Virginia because of low natural gas prices, a major concern for glass manufacturers of the time, which drew many prospective glassblowers to the area. The new company was initially named Eureka Glass Company, later becoming Blenko. Until the arrival of his son, William H. Blenko, in 1923, he had no employees; he made and sold all of the glass himself. Soon after the onset of the Great Depression, which severely damaged the stained glass market, Blenko began to produce stemware and tableware, after finding two expert glassblowers to work for the company in 1930. Blenko's early work include providing glass for the stained glass windows of St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York City. Prior to 1946, Blenko's tableware output was largely functional and classical in form. Macy's started to sell Blenko products in 1932 . The White House has a collection of Blenko table ware, which is used periodically.
