    Description

    Title, as pictured.
    Blenko's super mid mod 1960 'shot glass' decanter, Blenko catalog #6027 by Wayne Husted, is one of Blenko's most iconic, beloved and highly coveted designs. As such, they were produced for most of the 1960s and Worthpoint documents over 100 that have changed hands over the last decade in online auctions. But guess how many of those 100+ decanters were in Amethyst? ONE. That's how rare this popular design is in Blenko's gorgeous amethyst!
    Our amethyst crackle glass beauty was produced in 1961. 1961 and 1962 were the only years in the 1960s that amethyst was produced, and ours has the Blenko acid-etched stamp on the base, used from 1958-1961 (difficult to make out in photos, but it's there).
    DIMENSIONS: 16.75" tall, ~6" in diameter
    CONDITION: Excellent, very clean--light condensation stains somewhat visible under strong direct light only!
