It features a substantial rounded body, a short neck and a distinctive flared opening. A circular indentation on the front adds an unusual decorative detail, while the saturated blue glass beautifully reflects the light.

Model 384 was designed with everyday use in mind. Its compact height allows it to fit inside a refrigerator door shelf. It can be used for serving water, but also works beautifully as a vase or a decorative object. Its bold colour and sculptural shape make it a great addition to mid-century modern, Space Age and eclectic interiors, particularly when paired with wood, chrome or other coloured glass.

The bottle is in very good vintage condition. The original “Blenko Handmade” signature is preserved on the neck.
