Hi Hillary,
OK, now I know this looks excessive, but early on in my collecting I got hung up on buying lots of these pinched side #533 vases along with the melon and pinched topped vases to help learn Blenko's colors. Always good to have a ready reference. From left to right Chartreuse, Jade (this piece the color failed which creates a unique "fade" effect), Jonquil, Turquoise, Tangerine, Emerald Green, and another Chartreuse. I didn't remember to get out the ones in Amethyst and Charcoal. Maybe another day.
Enjoy

I am not a fan of many of Blenko's shapes. But boy I love the colors. If you have not been to the Visitors Center,GO!!!! Look upstairs at the stained glass. Really look at each color. Many you will never see again.Many colors have not been made in years. You better go look before its gone!!!!!!!!!
