Collectible Tobacciana / Trinket Dish, Blenko Glass, Starburst Ribbed, Emerald Green Art Glass, Milton WV, Vintage 1970

Three pounds of Blenko green glass. Tracked to the 1970 catalog. Absolutely no apologies.

This is a vintage Blenko Glass starburst-ribbed piece in deep emerald green — a large, substantial art glass form produced at the Blenko factory in Milton, West Virginia, confirmed in the 1970 Blenko catalog. Unmarked, as is typical of Blenko's production pieces. Excellent condition. One available.

The design radiates from the center in bold cut ribs that catch and fracture light across the room — the kind of effect that only heavy, hand-crafted art glass can achieve. The green is saturated and rich, the kind of color Blenko was producing at the height of their mid-century art glass output, when their West Virginia factory was supplying some of the most collectible decorative glass in America. At 8 inches in diameter and over 3 pounds, this is a serious, substantial piece — not a trinket, not an accent, but a genuine statement object.

Today it works beautifully as a large catchall dish, a decorative centerpiece on a bar or coffee table, a key bowl by the door, or a striking shelf display on its own. The ribs and color do all the work.

Blenko Glass Company has been making hand-crafted art glass in Milton, West Virginia since 1893 — one of the oldest and most respected American art glass manufacturers still in operation. Their mid-century pieces are among the most actively collected in American decorative glass, with catalog-confirmed pieces commanding particular interest from serious collectors.

A wonderful find for a Blenko collector, a mid-century art glass enthusiast, or anyone whose home deserves one genuinely spectacular piece of American glass.
