Yellow Wine Decanter
« on: January 16, 2012, 01:00:51 pm »

Color  may be honey or wheat depending on year made. But My guess would be Blenko,  I would say to start searching Blenko decanters to find yours along with piece #.

Good answer. Do not put any wine or any liquids in it as this shape takes for ever to dry and is very hard to clean.

Ditty what Frogpatch said.

However...a quick way to dry out....dry as well as possible, let air dry for a while until all you see is a fine layer of water, then put in rice to absorb the rest.  Pour out rice ( You mauy need to shake around rice to dislodge a few stuck grains) and let dry out completely before putting in bag to use later!

   Nice Decanter for sure, Handblown, Unique shape and good Honey Amber Glass, wendy lead is a good one to check out.  If you can prove it to be Blenko is will get you in the mid $$.00 for it.

The kids were upset I told them we couldn't make koolaide in it anymore. just kidding of course.

I think Wendy was right and while I was following up on her lead I found some other pieces I have could be Blenko also.
