Hi Hillary,
Just resending this photo of the Husted 5715's since it never loaded onto the blog. Colors are Gold and Tangerine.
Enjoy

No one makes tangerine like Blenko of old.
When I walk into a shop I immediately can spot the tangerine that is Blenko.
Viking was nice, Dunbar was OK, but Blenko of that era was superior.

One of my joys is comparing what you pay to the listing price of my favorite NYC dealer.

I'm a window shopper only.
I so enjoy DC's photos and the glass he offers to the collectors is superior.

I paid $9.99 for the Gold and $15.00 for the Tangerine. That along with twelve dollars apiece for shipping. That is why I had originally told Hillary I had got them for a song. The picture unfortunately does not give a good indication of the large scale of these vases. They top out at 19 1/2".
Enjoy

Will you go to Blenko on the 19th?
Our group will not this year.
We are instead doing GAS in Louisville as observers.
Blast!
