Highly in demand for over 8 decades, our iconic water bottle has been featured in many magazines, TV appearances, and throughout various online publications.
The classic 384 design was first introduced in 1938 and has been produced at our factory, by hand, almost non-stop since that very first year. At the time, the bottle's design was largely dictated by necessity...
With function before form in mind, it was made to fit into the narrow door shelves of the relatively new “electric icebox”. Today, that electric icebox is known as a refrigerator!
The water bottle’s narrow shape with two pouring spouts and center indentation made for easy handling and fit well in those early refrigerator doors.
Not dishwasher safe.
These pieces are made to order in small batches. Please allow 6-8 weeks for delivery.

WHY BLENKO?
Unlike other glass vessels that claim to be "100% handmade" while being mass produced in a factory in China, our glass is TRULY handmade by Appalachian natives from West Virginia on the banks of the Mud River. From start to finish - 100% authentic.

I recently found this brand while antiquing, I did not purchase the light blue water bottle I saw but I did go home and regretted it so I ordered a brand new TOpaz water bottle and it’s just what I needed as a pop of shiny color on my living room mantle. Shipped quickly and arrived safe. I will ordering a clear one to actually use as a water bottle too for when I have the girlfriends over!
My two topaz 384 Blenko water bottles recently arrived safe and sound in just a few week’s time from the day I ordered them! The topaz color is a beautiful addition to my other water bottles which I’ve been collecting over many years! . I recall purchasing my first water bottle in Macon, GA multiple decades ago paying approximately $25.00. It was an affordable price then and is worth the current price I just paid. I’ve given these unique water bottles to other members of my family much to their delight as Christmas gifts! You can’t go wrong by purchasing just one of these unique beauties to use with your casual or formal dinnerware, or by purchasing several at a time to begin your own exciting journey of becoming a bonafide collector!
My wife received the Blenko Water bottle (Topaz) as a gift from me. It was shipped across country and arrived safely. She absolutely loves it. It looks really nice and is a nice decorative piece in out home. We will also use it from time to time in special occasions to serve iced tea, etc.
This is a lovely piece. It arrived promptly and very well packed.
We love our 384 Water Bottles. And I wanted to give our friends something very special for their 50th Wedding Anniversary. We will be seeing them this week. I can hardly wait to see their surprise reactions. And, they will love reading about the history of the company. I have the special February 384 water bottle and keep fresh cut flowers in it. It is lovely.
