Blenko Handmade Glass Bowl – Blue with Gold Foot (14.5")

Item Description:
A large handmade glass centerpiece bowl by Blenko Glass Company. The bowl features a wide flared rim in soft aqua-blue with a contrasting amber-gold pedestal foot. The piece retains its original Blenko "Handmade" sticker, which helps verify authenticity. This design reflects mid-century modern styling, which is a hallmark of Blenko’s signature aesthetic.

Maker:
Blenko Glass Company – Milton, West Virginia
Renowned for their hand-blown colored glassware since 1893, especially popular for bold modernist shapes and color blends from the 1940s–1970s onward.

Date Period:
Exact date unknown, though the label style suggests post-2000s production, potentially a modern reissue or limited studio piece. Earlier models often used paper or foil stickers with different fonts/logos.

Dimensions:

  • Diameter: 14.5 inches
  • Height: approx. 6 inches
  • Weight: ~1 lb

Condition:
Mint condition. No chips, cracks, or repairs. Retains original label, which adds collectible value.

Valuation (as of 2025):

  • Retail Estimate: $150–$250 USD
  • Auction/Fair Market Estimate: $100–$180 USD
  • Replacement Cost (Insurance): $250 USD

Factors Influencing Value:
✔ Original sticker intact
✔ Large size and color contrast
✔ Desirable Blenko design aesthetic
✘ Modern production vs. vintage era (vintage Blenko may fetch higher prices)

Authentication Notes:
The shape, quality, and label match known Blenko products. The use of clear gradients and optical-quality craftsmanship are consistent with their studio techniques.

Recommendation:
While this item does not currently require professional appraisal unless intended for insurance or museum donation, if you're considering sale at a high-end auction or inclusion in a modern glass exhibit, documentation of provenance and production date via Blenko archives could enhance its appeal.
