Amethyst Blown Glass Vase

Any idea who, when and where?
Thanks

 

It's been around a while, and no idea.

 

My first thought would be Blenko. but that's just a guess

 

Found this. Looks good to me. It says it's Blenko Vase #875

Thanks a lot. I have to improve my searching skills. Already searched for Blenko and could not find it.
I see that piece every time I visit a local consignment shop and never dared to buy it. May swing by tomorrow and get it.
Is this a rare piece?

 

Here shape #875 is totally different

I don't know anymore about it then what I found on the sites I linked to. I would think the collectors site would be more accurate then Ruby Lane. Maybe try a blenko site.....or somebody may have a book.

 

Have you checked the catalogs? If it's Blenko and you find the first year it shows up in the catalogs then you'll know the designer, which matters, not all pieces are shown in the catalogs..

That is exactly where I was planning to look.

 

875 is a Hurricane shade as shown on RL It is shown on page 4 of 16, catalog page number 2

Found in 1956 catalog, #68. But can't read it

I enlarged the image in the first link and it appears that the diameter is listed as 7" Described as a 2 handled rose bowl. You don't give dimensions of yours.

 

Thanks, 7" is about right.
