Hillary, I saw this one on Ebay and if I had the money it would be in my living room. If it doesn't sell and they relist after 1/15 it will be in my livingroom. I am sending the description as written by the seller and and the photo.

BLENKO SPOOL DECANTER 587 L Well you WON'T see one of these on Ebay very often!!! This is one of Blenko's rarest and hardest to find decanters. Standing at approx. 37" is this beautiful Turquoise Spool Decanter, designed by Wayne Husted circa '59-60. It has the sandblasted Blenko signature logo on the bottom that was done in 1959 and 1960 only. Overall the condition is wonderful. Upon very close inspection there looks to be a small round/star burst crack. But when I run my finger over it there's nothing to feel which leads me to believe it is internal and was there from the beginning when it was originally hand blown.
Note: If you have photos and or stories about BLENKO GLASS, if you worked or a family member retired from Blenko Glass please contact us at theblenkoproject@aol.com we'd like to make your story a part of The Blenko Project's oral history and also use the story and photos on the Blog.
Heart of Glass has only one objective: To promote West Virginia Glass most especially BLENKO GLASS and perhaps also encourage you to buy locally whenever possible.

Proceed with a great deal of caution my Mom and Aunt spent at least 1K a month on Ebay buying glass.

Welcome to Ebay Annu, need a list of better than average sellers?
Margie:
When you say you are packing up your glass, what do you plan to do with it? Please do something that gives those of us who are passionate about WV glass a chance to purchase it from you.
Dear All: On another note, In my neck of the woods, the weather has been gray and gloomy, not conducive to photographing beautiful BLENKO.
I've been too busy to read and post much these days but I always enjoy catching up with everybody. Even though we don't know each other in person, Hillary sure makes us feel like friends.
Best to all,
West Virginia Janis
