Blenko Ashtrays


Ashtrays have always been a part of Blenko’s
production from the 1930s thru today.
Blenko's ashtrays have been unique. One of
Winslow Anderson’s ashtray designs won the
Good Design award in 1950. Believe it not
there are hard-to-find Blenko ashtrays. The trilobe
bowl #5831 is one and the 5722 is another
hard to find design. Blenko’s ashtray designs
always have a bit of panache!
