Blenko 925S Cobalt Bowl buy

Blenko 925S Cobalt Bowl

Height: 2 1/2"
Diameter: 6 1/4"

Flawless.

100% handmade buy in the West Virginia Appalachians. Blenko glass doesn't have the flawless quality of some of its famous Scandinavian contemporaries like Orrefors and Kosta Boda; Blenko, although very heavy, is rather soft. A fair number of pieces with minor imperfections, sometimes unnoticeable to the untrained eye, get through the inspection process. (This low wastage rate helps keep prices reasonable.) Many collectors think these small variations add interest and give pieces a "one of a kind" appeal.

Keep in mind vintage hand-blown glass is rarely perfect.
