Sometimes when I find an item that I know I don't want to keep for myself, I start calling friends and family on my cell phone trying to put the item "up for adoption" so to speak. That's exactly what I did when I encountered this Blenko bent neck decanter today. My brother has a small collection of Blenko glass, so I tried my best to get a hold of him to try to talk him into purchasing this "Good Design" award winning decanter. Unfortunately he didn't answer any of his phone numbers, so I left the piece for someone else. If it had its stopper, I'd have bought it in a second.
