6141 Star Bowl - Tangerine

Sale price$48.00
Color: 6141 Star Bowl - Tangerine

This is not the first time we’ve been tempted to bring back this clean, classic spinware mould from our catalog archives. The 6141 – also known as the 9801 – is a beautiful, seven-pointed star bowl that flares out in organic, unique rounded points. Around the factory we call it the Star or the Crown bowl because of the beautiful flare and organic asymmetries. Perfect for fruit, decor, salad – you name it, this bowl is a real touch of midcentury space age glamor for your home.

Approximately 3½” wide at base and 6½”-7”H, (each may vary slightly due to the handmade process)

*Bowls may have mould marks or slight lap lines in the glass, as pictured.

Designer, 1953-1963

Wayne Husted (b. 1927; d. 2022)

Wayne Husted

Wayne Husted was the second of Blenko’s storied Big Four designers – and the second in a row to come to Blenko from Alfred University and NY State’s School of Ceramics, where he studied ceramics and design. Husted had very little experience with glass before coming to Blenko to replace another Alfred graduate, Winslow Anderson. With some few exceptions, most of the wares in the 1953-1962 catalogs are Husted’s designs for Blenko – and his design tenure marked a period of wild and continuous experimentation with form, shape, and finishing. His works in glass were often counterintuitive and difficult to make – but undeniably magical and compelling in their finished forms. Whether it’s his heavily-prunted 597 bowls, or his teapot decanters, or his whimsical bird decanters, Husted’s work is celebrated and deeply collectible. Husted was essentially the first designer at Blenko to make architectural-scale glass – floor decanters with tall topping stoppers that came across the finish line at more than two feet tall. During - and after - his time at Blenko, Husted was a prolific designer for other glass companies and design firms.

“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”

Amberina style 6141 Star Bowl with an orange bottom into an amber color. A very large straw mark and an inclusion or two but lovely!

Gorgeous work of art!

Glass blowing is such a unique talent. Each piece that I have purchased has been beyond expectations. The star bowl is much larger than I thought especially for the price. It is so gorgeous and it brightens the room! Love it.

6141 Tangerine star Bowl

Beautiful Tangerine Bowl. I am using it for a candle holder. It is a tea light size and it shines such a gorgeous light and sparkles like the sun in the evening sky. I love it very much. Thank you craftsmen and ladies. You are a great reflection of America the land of the free. Lets keep it that way.
