My brother won this reddish/orange pitcher (photo attached) in the early 1970s and asked me to see if I could find any information about it. It's about 18" and marked 'Blenko." I noticed in Mr. Rick Pulcrano's collection that he had an amber one that looked similar in design.
Thanks for your help!

Valerie S,
This appears to be a Blenko 598-L in Tangerine. A little dusty from your picture but a nice gentle cleaning with some mild soap and luke warm water should have it shining in no time. The handle appears to be attached a little on the high side but the one I have in Tangerine is similar. This is a Wayne Husted design from 1959 and from the absence of it in the 1960 catalog appears to have only been manufactured one year.
Hope this helps.
