    Here is a 6 1-2"H yellow glass scallop shell bookend with an inner swirl, from Blenko Glass of Milton WV. Silver label dates this pre-1982 but they were also made into the 1990s

      Almost as if its recreating Monticello's birth of Venus. Its a masterpiece no doubt !~

      That's one fabulous shell and another great bathroom piece! It would look great with a statue of Botticelli's Venus standing before it! Or where the sun can shine through the golden yellow shell- it would look STUNNING then!

      I love this scallop shell bookend Jenni!! Simply beautiful!!

      If not for the label, I wouldn't have thought it was Blenko! I have never seen a Blenko piece with an inclusion like this. Nice find, Jenni!

      Thank you MrsT for your super comment, I agree the swirl is a really cool feature inside the glass, it adds to the ocean look, perhaps a special signature of the Blenko artist

      Thomas thank you for your wonderful comment, it's so great that you are now living in sunny Florida with all that sea & sand beauty - my stepdaughter & family live in Cocoa and she adores seashells, has alot of very fancy ones & pretty ocean coral sculptures as well. Glad you enjoyed this unusual shell bookend

      Thanks Phil for your fab praise & seeing the birth of Venus here, you have the artist's eye for sure! That is such a lovely image & Blenko did do a very pretty sculpting of this scallop shell it is very nuanced

      Lauren thank you for your awesome praise & ideation, I actually do have a marble Botticelli Venus figure somewhere (it's posted here with a JJ Jonette mermaid brooch in combo), will have to look around for it & pair it with this shell near a sunny window, that sounds beautiful! You always give me such creative inspiration

      Thank you Scott for your fantastic praise for this shell bookend, I had this on a "wish list" for months and am just glad nobody else bought it because I'm delighted with it. It's such a heavy glass piece I had to be careful it wouldn't tip over while taking the pix

      Kevin thanks so much for your terrific comment and yes, the inner swirl is very uncharacteristic for a Blenko, I just think the glassmaker wanted to either add some unique flair or put his/her personal mark on the piece as I've seen others without it. Finding this in yellow was especially nice for me as Blenko's hue is always bright & sunny, I have their turtle in this yellow and it really lights up a room

      Love this beautiful shell!!!
    10. Newfld Newfld, 3 years ago
      Thank you vintagelamp for your wonderful comment/love for this seashell, finding this was very special & I'm truly happy that you enjoyed!
    11. Newfld Newfld, 3 years ago
      Thanks kivatinitz and rancherswife for the love for this Blenko glass shell, it's so nice of you both and always warmly appreciated

      Thought the yellow swirl was mermaid when I first glanced at it .. lovely..
    13. Newfld Newfld, 3 years ago
      Penny I honestly thought that was a mermaid on first glance also! Sometimes I'm accused of overactive imagination so didn't mention it, but I'm so glad you saw that form too :) Maybe the glassmaker wanted to make it more ocean looking, in any case I'm glad to have this unusual Blenko shell & I thank you for your kind comment & love

      Thanks also Daisy for loving this yellow glass shell, glad you liked!

      I always like Blenko and I haven't seen this before. It's almost a pre war shape but with extra!
    15. Newfld Newfld, 3 years ago
      Blenko is so cool right Karen, their glass pieces like bookends & paperweights are not only pretty but really original. They are so high priced I was lucky to find this shell pretty reasonably, perhaps because it's a singleton. Thank you for your extra fabulous comment & love
