Is this Blenko? www.blenkoglass.com

My questions are:P 1) Is it Blenko?
2) What is it?

Harry,
If this one is Blenko it should have an acid stamp BLENKO on the bottom. Get out the magnifying glass and check.
My best guess is its the bottom l/2 of a Husted decanter. On E-bay one can often time the stopper ( other half) for $14-20.
I've seen the piece you have used as a candle stick - a large chunky candle fits nicely in this decanter.
One other way I've seen this displayed is with a blenko plate then a candle on the plate.
Check out E-Bay or contact Kissin Kate, or one of the other vintage Blenko dealers then ask them to help you acquire a stopper.
Thank you for buying Blenko. hjh

They are reproducting these - just read this today.
So no need to buy the l/2 pieces at big price.
