“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.
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.
Specifications: -8” tall, 6.5” wide -Holds up to 36 fluid ounces -100% handmade by Appalachians in West Virginia -Crafted with processes and methods used for thousands of years -Not dishwasher safe

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 really appreciate that each bottle is unique and the Tangerine one I received has a strong color at the neck and then a subtle gradient down the center with much lighter coloring at the sides. It really is gorgeous and looks lovely empty on the windowsill with the light passing through it, and stunning with flowers. Thanks so much for this Made in the USA beauty!

Giving returns a greater gift
We had the Tangerine 384 Water Bottle sent to our dear friend's in celebration of their recent wedding. They have since overwhelmed us with appreciation and gratitude. Even to the point of telling us they watched all the U-Tube videos about Blenko and now consider themselves full-fledged 'collectors' as they contemplate over what new piece will be their next!

Beautiful piece to add to our collection inside our entry way for everyone to see. Thanks for making this available online for us who live outside of West Virginia. Great decision to make this available for more then 30 people to enjoy.
