6819 Blenko 2011 Catalog this item is available in : topaz, cobalt, kiwi, crystal and the price is less than $85.We've own this decanter for 10 or more years, my friend Shorty Finley has several standing like soldiers in the picture window of his Milton cottage.
This is a wonderful decanter, you'll want to order this reproduction and ask for the sandblasted signature ( its an extra $10 ).
Note: When photos become available of 6819 in other colors I'll publish the photos.

IF THE BOTTLES WILL SIT WITHOUT WABBLING AND THE TOPS FIT TIGHTLY THEN THREE CHEERS FOR BLENKO.
IF NOT THEN WALTER OR BILL NEED TO GET OFF THEIR A>>> AND GET SOMEONE WHO CAN DO QUALITY CONTROL AND RESTORE THE GOOD NAME OF BLENKO.
ITS NOT FAIR TO EXPECT THE INEXPERIENCED TO KNOW WHAT IS AND ISNT WELL MADE.
THE BLENKO FAMILY REPUTATION IS AT STAKE.

Well this one would make a great liquor decanter a set of 4 with a silver tray.
I like the crystal, so you can see the liquid.

Quality control is an issue only if you shop in the visitor center shop.
Try ordering on line.
We have no difficulty with the vintage glass & quality.
Mountain Rita you didn't say where you are, but try shopping Kissin Kates, Purple Moon, the Shops of So Charleston and Nitro these all have good quality Blenko.

Mountain Rita is commenting on the current lack of quality control.
If you have eyes, you are aware of this problem.
Enuff said.

This is hand made glass, and what some calls low quality is what some call craftmenship. I like that not ever pice of glass is alike, even know there are the same mold. That way I can say that I have a one of a kind. I is just like your childern are they all machine made just alike I hope not.
