“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 have four Blenko pieces and love them all! The craftsmanship, the fact that it is a family owned company. I will continue to support them!

This is my FOURTH water bottle purchase from Blenko. This one is a housewarming gift for a neighbor. Ergonomically designed, these are the best pitchers for water, tea, juice or all your favorite "cool temperature" beverages. It says hand wash only, but I have put in the dishwasher before I realized that - I do not have a heating element, though. Love all Blenko products!
Good Morning West Virginia Vase w/Cobalt Sky Float
Thank you for this beautiful piece - it far exceeded my expectations! The colors are vibrant but warm and really brighten my bookcase. This was a Mother’s Day gift from my kids and so worth the wait!
This is one of the most beautiful items that Blenko has made. I have a couple of other pieces, but this is just gorgeous. I have it in the sunroom on a glass coffee table where the light is perfect and shows it off!
