Early BLENKO #6027 Shot Glass Decanter in Tangerine | Amberina Crackle Glass - MINTY
Blenko's super mid mod 1960 'shot glass' decanter, Blenko catalog #6027 by Wayne Husted, is one of Blenko's most iconic, beloved and highly coveted designs. As such, they were produced for most of the 1960s! Even so, there are precious few floating around for sale-- they get snapped up quick!
The body of our gorgeous decanter is done in a sparkling deep orange/red amberina crackle glass while the stopper (at the neck) begins at yellow and gradually darkens until it reaches the same bright orange/red color as the body to awesome effect. Blenko's sandblasted logo on the base indicates that this piece was produced either in 1960 or during the first half of 1961--the early part of the #6027's production period. Even so, its condition is remarkable! This beauty's interior is so clean that I'd suspect it never held liquid except for an odd spot on the interior base (see photo #6). Wine stain? Ash from production? Beats me. As you can see, it is inconsequental to the piece.
DIMENSIONS: 16.5" tall, ~6" in diameter
CONDITION: MINTY & clean with age-appropriate base wear and the aforementioned stain/flaw? in the interior base of the decanter (see photo #4).

Frequently Asked Questions
Custom and personalized orders
GLASSpheme loves custom orders! But how do we 'customize' vintage glass? Simple. We love glass and we love our customers--and there are many ways we can help!
1) Volume discounts: Let's say there are several pieces you MUST have. Let me know, and I'll send you our very best price for the lot.
2) Custom displays: Say you have a special place in your home that SCREAMS for a glass display. Send me a photo of the space, your budget, and the accent colors for your room, and we'll send you photographs of possible groupings and our special pricing for the lot.
3) Tell us what groupings you have in mind, and we'll photograph them together for you so you can see how they'll look together.
Gift wrapping and packaging
What could be better than giving a gorgeous piece of vintage glass as a gift? (Aside from getting one, that is.) Glass is beautiful and functional--mostly! Consider a super mod biomorphic bowl or cased glass jar for a vanity or dresser, a platter/centerpiece for fruit on a countertop, or a vase for cut flowers. Not only does vintage glass bring exquisite delight to the most mundane of household functions (you should see our soap dishes), but our beauties increase in value over time. Send us a note telling us your purchase is a gift, and we will send it along with your personalized gift card, colorful tissue paper and a bow. (You alone will receive the receipt by email.)
Can I Select Custom Arrival Dates?
GLASSpheme ships your purchase on the very next business day, but we're flexible too! If you're going away on vacation or have a special date you'd like your gift to arrive, send us a note, and we'll time our shipping for you!
How can I get coupons for your shop and be informed of sales?
Simple! Join the GLASSpheme mailing list! Paste this link in your browser, send us your email address, and VOILA--you'll be among the first to know when your favorite piece of glass is on sale, or when we're offering coupons.
