Winslow Anderson for Blenko Olive Green ‘Optic’ Pitcher
This olive green blown-glass pitcher (model 991) was designed for Winslow Anderson for Blenko in 1952. Fantastic color, bulbous form, and dramatic pointed spout.
Unsigned / labeled, but pontil on bottom is crude (indicative of hand-blown glass, as opposed to mold blown, and commonly associated with Blenko’s works).
Excellent, vintage condition.
Diameter: 7.5″ x H: 13.25″
