Teri from Oklahoma needs our Help - My comments are - The Silver Sticker usually indicates it is an older items - it was not an expensive item at time of purchase. We'll ask our readers what they know about this item. Here's her note - hjh
Hello,
The piece is about 8" tall, 5 3/4" across base, just under 5: wide at mouth without pour spout, and 5 1/4" wide at pour spout. It is clear, crackle glass; does not have a handle nor anywhere where a handle could have attached. The pontil is about 1/4" and in a recessed spot in the base. I feel an edge but not a rough edge.
It has the silver "Blenko Handcraft" sticker. I do not find a signature or number on the bottom. I was told that the picture of it in the catalog showed it with liquid in it and this was the smaller of the two sizes made.

I found your item in the 1983 catalog in the BLENKO 1972 - 1983 Catalogs book put out by Leslie Pina and Schiffer books for collectors. #8211S 8 1/2" high Crystal only. Hope this helps.

Couple months ago anything with silver label would have been at least $25 in my shop.
Now not so. Economy is not good. I recommend holding on to this item the value will again increase, it originally sold for less than $10 and in anybodies world is worth double that amount today.
If you live near WV take it to one of the event and ask them to sign, to increase value.
I am sending photos of my WV and American glass for you to help me identify only the ones I have questions about. I am over 70, and some of these pieces are also.
