Mid 20th Century Blenko Hand Blown Black Amethyst Console Bowl

Description

This "black amethyst" substantial centerpiece bowl is highly prized for its deep, saturated color that appears jet black in normal light but reveals a vibrant purple or plum hue when backlit. It is a hand-blown heavy piece that features unique variations like small air bubbles and a pontil mark on the base. This console version is 12.625" in diameter and features footed base. It's a broad and shallow form, combined with its rich amethyst color, positions it as an ideal elegant statement piece.
