“A beautiful piece of history that elevates our home with its colorful design!’’
~ Blenko Customer
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.
Citrine - a warm, golden-yellow hue with a rich, sunlit glow.
Today, this piece of glassblowing history is commonly used as:
A glass pitcher - to serve drinks or enjoy a cool glass of water.
A lovely flower vase - for a dazzling display of colors.
A decorative piece - to elevate the character of any room.

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.
Our Promise
We stand by our products 100% with our Blenko “Love It” guarantee. If you have any issues whatsoever, we'll replace or refund your order, no questions asked!
“There are so many supporters and collectors out there who are just waiting in line to get a hold off a piece that celebrates West Virginias heritage”
"Blenko Glass Company has produced literally millions of hand-blown glass pieces, and the factory tours remain one of the most popular attractions when visiting the company"
“Beautiful blues, greens, oranges, golds, and other colors thoroughly don the family-owned and operated Blenko Glass Company.”
I had this same exact piece from 20 years ago and I broke it. Thankfully they still make them. I was overjoyed when it arrived. Packed very well and just as beautiful as my first one
I received my Blenko 2436 Visitors Decanter second, and honestly I haven't figured out why it's a second yet. Still a beautiful hand crafted piece, just like my many first run pieces.
