This appears to be an 8613L in Crystal. It should be approximately 24" tall. Hope this helps.

Depending on the height of the vase, I would say it is a 1986 design, #8613. The large one is 24" tall, the medium is 17" tall and the small one 9.5" tall. I don't have a price sheet for 1986, so I can't tell you what it originally sold for. I find it in the catalog for 1986 and 1987, but not later than that. It may be that someone brought the vase to a signing in 1989, and that is when Richard Blenko dated it.

Hope that helps!

MARK MY WORD RICK BLENKO'S SIGNATURE WILL BECOME THE MOST VALUABLE
HE SIGNED FOR MUCH LESS TIME THAN WB WH AND WALTER
RICK BLENKO WAS THE FACE OF BLENKO
BLENKO BEGAN TO DIE A FAST AND HARD DEATH WHEN HE DEPARTED.

Many comments here should be deleted. Only an insane person would state Rick B's signature was more valuable thank WH?
Or perhaps no signature is valuable, factory glass is factory glass....NO?
