Blenko 439 Flared Crackle Glass Vase

A Mid-Century Modern hand-blown clear crackle glass vase featuring four applied blue glass rosettes. Designed in the mid-1940s by Winslow Anderson, this iconic piece became a staple of Blenko Glass Company's catalog. The crackle effect is achieved by dipping the hot glass vessel into cold water and then reheating it, while the blue medallions or rosettes are applied by hand while the glass is still molten. The crackle texture is consistent and the applied blue rosettes are securely attached and intact. 11 1/2 inches tall and 9 inches across the top.
