A striking piece of mid-century American studio glass by Blenko, presented in a rich cobalt blue colourway.

This handcrafted basket form features a gently flared rim and a substantial applied handle, showcasing the fluid, organic qualities associated with Blenko’s production.

The body displays subtle vertical ribbing and tonal variation within the glass, a hallmark of hand-blown manufacture.

The applied handle is smoothly integrated, with visible tooling marks that highlight the artisan process.

Retaining its original Blenko Handcraft label, this example reflects the brand’s enduring reputation for bold colour and sculptural design.

Blenko glass, produced in West Virginia, became synonymous with mid-century modern interiors, celebrated for its saturated hues and expressive forms.

Pieces such as this basket are both functional and decorative, equally suited to display or light use.
