Amber Wheat Handblown Glass Basket: Blenko Barnwood Collection 8” Heavy Square Art Vase (0093-25)

Perfect for American art glass collectors or autumn decorators seeking a heavy, textured centerpiece with a rich 1970s heritage. This rare Blenko glass basket is a substantial piece of West Virginia history, part of the limited Barnwood Collection (c. 1979–1980). Handblown in the coveted "Amber Wheat" color, this piece captures the warm, golden glow of harvest time. The square paneled form features a thick applied handle and a deeply rippled texture designed to mimic the organic grain of weathered wood. Features: - Substantial Quality: Weighing nearly 3 lbs, this is a thick, durable piece of art glass that feels as high-quality as it looks. - Rare Production Window: Only manufactured for a two-year period, making the Amber Wheat Barnwood series a prized find for discontinued glass enthusiasts. - Handmade Authenticity: As a handblown item, it features the unique bubbles and mold lines that characterize Blenko’s artisanal process. - Excellent Vintage Condition: No chips or cracks; beautifully preserved with a clear, vibrant glow. Specifications: - Dimensions: 8" H (including handle) x 6" L x 5.5" W, Weight: 2 lbs 15 oz. How to style it: Because of its weight and square base, this basket is exceptionally stable for tall floral arrangements or heavy seasonal fillers. It looks fantastic on a boho-curated bookshelf, as a centerpiece for a fall tablescape, or displayed in a glass hutch where backlighting can emphasize the wood-grain texture. Unlike lighter mass-produced vases, this heavy American-made piece provides a grounded, high-end feel to any shelf styling. IMPORTANT NOTE: At Darling Della Vintage, we believe every scratch and bit of patina tells a story. Our pieces are 30+ years old and have lived full lives, so gentle wear, tiny chips, or age-worn charm are part of their soul — not flaws. We photograph and describe each item carefully, but please expect natural signs of age. Embracing vintage means embracing history — and we wouldn’t have it any other way. Please visit my shop for additional unique and exceptional vintage items.
