Vintage 1960s Blenko Cobalt Blue Amphora Vase Hand Blown 4 Handle Art Glass

Vintage Blenko hand-blown art glass vase in a classic amphora or urn form with four applied handles. This substantial American art glass piece features a beautiful ombré effect, transitioning from a lighter blue body and greenish-cast thick base to a rich cobalt and deep sapphire blue rim. The handmade character is evident in the rough pontil mark, organic form, and scattered air bubbles and inclusions created during the blowing process.  A striking Mid-Century Modern display piece, equally beautiful with flowers or as a standalone sculptural accent.  Size: 14.75” tall x 7.5” widest body x 9” widest across opposite handles  Condition: Excellent vintage condition. No chips, cracks, or repairs found. Expected hand-blown characteristics include small bubbles, inclusions, and pontil roughness on the base.  Likely dating to the 1960s–1970s, this heavy Blenko vase showcases the bold color and sculptural forms that made the West Virginia glassmaker a favorite among collectors of American art glass.
