Blenko Glass Company introduced this elegant decanter design in its 1971 catalog and continued producing it only for another year -- through 1972. The glass, which is optic, is very clean and pretty, especially when light shines through it.

Designer: John Nickerson 

Dimensions 5ʺW × 5ʺD × 13.25ʺH
Period 1970
Excellent used condition. It’s super clean. There are a couple of small air bubbles in the glass -- typical of hand-blown glass like this -- and there's a tiny inclusion on the side -- it's smaller than the tip of a pencil. With light shining through the glass, you can see there's a slight production fold/mark from the mold used to form the glass. Like many pieces of handmade glass, this decanter isn’t 100% totally symmetrical; the top of it leans a bit to one side.
