Larry from Texas Makes Identification


Hillary; I saw that you started posting some of my pictures again. Looks like blogger got you again (they disappeared). Oh Well. I just received a photo for identification to day and thought it might be a good post.
This is the #5929 - L giant decanter ( Tangerine). Husted 1959, design29. Huge extreme design decanter 38" high.
The #5929 is also featured in the 1959 BLENKO catalog in Jonquil.
Sometimes referred to as 5929; balustrade decanter or elaborate profile decanter ("profile decanter" for short) .
Photo and color and permission to post to blog submitted by
Tim and Peggy Floming of Cedar Rapids IA .
Hope everyone enjoys this. Another great piece, not in Texas.
Keep up the good work. I think you are great.

I have bought these paying from $2,500 to $800.
Some sellers don't know what they have.
