DESCRIPTION
This is a seriously substantial piece of art glass — a heavy “brick” style glass block with a recessed bowl top, weighing an impressive 5.6 lbs. The form is clean, modern, and architectural, making it equally at home in a mid-century modern setting or a contemporary minimalist space.
The clear glass body features natural internal bubbles and rippling consistent with studio-style production, giving it that unmistakable handcrafted character collectors look for. The top features a shallow bowl approximately 1" deep, perfect as a catchall for keys, coins, jewelry, or simply as a sculptural focal point.
The base is slightly concave, smooth, and highly polished, allowing it to sit solidly while maintaining a refined finish. This kind of heavy glass block is often associated with Blenko-style production and mid-century American art glass design.
This piece has excellent presence — both visually and physically — and works as décor, paperweight, or functional art object.
This piece strongly aligns with the well-known “glass brick” forms associated with Blenko Glass, showcasing the thick, substantial construction, internal air bubbles, and fluid rippling that collectors expect from mid-century Blenko production. The scale, weight, and recessed bowl design are all consistent with examples attributed to Blenko, and it presents with the same bold, architectural presence that defines their work.
While there is no sticker or etched maker’s mark present to confirm attribution with absolute certainty, this example matches the known characteristics of a Blenko glass brick in both form and execution, and we are confident in its identification based on these defining features.
