Hi HIllary,
Let's just call this my updated Tangerine Myers decanter photo since all but one of these has been added to the collection over the years since I shot the other photo of a larger group of Tangerine decanters that is still posted on the Blenko Project "Collections" page. All of these are Myers designed pieces. They are from left to right Blenko #6617, Blenko #6711-S Thread wrapped decanter, Blenko #678 "Brain" decanter, Blenko #6523 Flask-shaped decanter, and Blenko #7019. Lots of variati
ons in shapes and textures between the pieces yet they hold together as a wonderful group.Hope you enjoy,
Bruce S

Bruce when the color is variated is it still tangerine?
I own a orange vase that was label tangerine
your tangerine has Life and color enhancement
Is there nore than one tangerine?
Tangerine seems to be in several finishes but I can relate to three that come to mind that are all considered Tangerine. The pieces pictured are what most collectors see Tangerine comprised of a red/orange fading to yellow or amber coloration. A second variation is a dark red stopper/neck/top fading to almost clear or pale amber color. The third that is also Tangerine is where the piece is a reddish orange being very vibrant in color but the whole piece is close to being a solid color without any variation. You can go back into the August blog pages to see just such a photo I took of several crackle pieces in Tangerine. I do have a small footed ruffle edge vase that is bright orange in color. I am not familiar with the technique that causes the variation or fade but hopefully someone more knowledgeable will take this chance to educate us both.

I dislike the new orange, do you think Blenko will return to a true orange?
Anyone with a direct connection to Katie Trippe?
re: Tangerine and the multiple forms of this color I've heard it has to do with the lack of a good chemist.

I'm new to Blenko. This weekend I spent 10 or more hours just rev iewing the many photos of your glass listed with this blog.
Your collection belongs in a Museum.
Beautiful beautiful glass.
Anyone with a Blenko contact? I was in a meeting last month with Katie

No Blenko does not care what colors you want
