Wayne Husted KITTY CAT Decanter Blenko 1955 SMOKE BLUE Color HARD TO FIND!
We're pleased to present this hard to find piece by designer Wayne Husted, for Blenko!
This Kitty Cat decanter was introduced in the 1955 Blenko Catalog, and measures 12.25" tall, appx. 2.625" wide at the base, and appx 5.5" wide at the widest part.
The glass is a deep smoky slate blue, with clear glass applied features on the cat's head stopper and the cat's tail (which is attached in two places,... and serves as a handle). Under UV light, I could see that the handle has a heat check at the top where it attaches to the bottle - it may have been repaired, but I can still feel the edge with my fingernail, so DO NOT PICK THIS PIECE UP BY THE HANDLE. That should be obvious, but I feel like I need to say it anyway.
The only other thing to note is that there are a few flake chips on the end of the stopper (the part that fits into the bottle). See my photos provided above. Both the stopper and the bottle are marked "D-162".
Really a charming, rare piece, offered here on ebay at auction. :)
NOTE: The catalog page I'm sharing here is from The Blenko Project, you can look them up online to perhaps see a better image. They have catalogs available for your reference for most ALL years of Blenko's history.
Thanks for looking!
