About the Item

**Blenko Glass Amethyst “Paper Bag” Art Glass Vase, circa 1980** An elegant, sculptural art glass vase by **Blenko Glass**, United States, dating from approximately **1980**. The piece is often referred to as a “Paper Bag” vase because of its softly folded, geometric form, which resembles the shape of a folded paper bag rendered in glass. The vase is made of beautiful, transparent amethyst-purple glass, with a warm, smoky hue that changes depending on the light. Its square body, softly rounded corners, and undulating upper rim give the piece a strong sculptural presence while maintaining a clean and modern design language. The transparency of the glass creates elegant reflections and subtle shifts in color, ranging from deep violet to brownish amethyst and rose tones. The form is simple yet expressive, making the vase suitable both as a functional decorative vessel and as a standalone sculptural object. This piece looks beautiful on a console table, sideboard, bookshelf, or as part of a curated collection of American art glass. Its understated elegance and distinctive folded shape make it ideal for modern, mid-century, and eclectic interiors. A refined example of **Blenko Glass** production from the late 20th century, prized for its sculptural form, rich color, and timeless decorative appeal.
