Mid-Century Blenko Hand-Molded Amethyst Glass Swirl

2"H  x 8" Diameter

Crafted by West Virginia’s iconic Blenko Glass Company, this catchall bowl or decorative tray showcases an expressive, organic swirl pattern evoking a stylized blossom or fluid vortex. Cast in heavy, hand-molded art glass, the piece features a rich amethyst shade that shifts dramatically from deep plum shadows in the sculptural folds to a luminous warm magenta along the translucent perimeter. The underside boasts a rich tactile texture, providing striking contrast against its smooth, liquid-like interior basin. Unmarked as is typical for vintage Blenko pieces whose original foil maker stickers have worn off over time, this piece remains in excellent vintage condition with zero chips, cracks, or fleabites, retaining crisp mold details and brilliant clarity. Whether styled as a centerpiece on a coffee table, an elevated entry console catchall, or a statement piece on a bar cart, this item serves as both functional tableware and a sculptural accent of mid-century American design.

Founded in Milton, West Virginia, Blenko Glass Company has been a premier pioneer of American handcrafted art glass since the early twentieth century. World-renowned for vibrant custom color formulations, architectural weight, and time-tested hand-blown and hand-molded techniques, Blenko collaborated with leading mid-century designers to transform everyday utilitarian glass into modern museum-worthy art pieces.
