This rare set of four Blenko Amethyst Colonial Williamsburg CW58 (also cataloged as CW-5S)Tavern Glasses is a standout collectible for lovers of historic American glassware. Each piece is hand‑crafted in rich amethyst glass, featuring the original Colonial Williamsburg Restoration foil seal in green and silver.
The Colonial Williamsburg CW58 is a vintage 3-inch hand-blown tavern cordial or shot glass.
These collectible glasses were mouth-blown using historical techniques by renowned manufacturers including Blenko Glass Company and Royal Leerdam, resulting in distinct character, occasional air bubbles, and a authentic pontil mark on the base.
The design is modeled after 18th‑century tavern glassware, and Blenko’s craftsmanship gives these pieces their signature clarity, weight, and deep color saturation. At approximately 3 inches tall, they resemble a shot‑glass size but with a more elegant, flared silhouette.
