Description
Vintage giant art glass jug in jonquil crackle WEIGHS 11 LBS.
Huge art glass floor vase jug can hold a huge spray of foliage or flowers and also makes an perfect umbrella holder. It is in excellent condition.
Hand-blown of thick vintage light amber glass (jonquil). To achieve the crackle decor, the massive item was dipped in cold water during cooling. The pulled amber handled was made separately and applied to the jug.
Circa 1960’s. Made by Blenko or Bischoff Art Glass. This is a Blenko original design. Bischoff Glass, a competitor of the same era, often produced designs very similar to Blenko. The Blenko and Bischoff versions are nearly identical. The pontil mark points to Blenko (soft, unpolished).
Measures almost 18″ tall, 10″ at widest, 4.5 ” wide mouth, weighs 11 lbs. Hand-blown with crackle decor, applied handle and inverted soft pontil scar.
Very rare item. Circa 1960’s.
