Blenko Sppol Decanter

Hillary, I saw this one on Ebay and if I had the money it would be in my living room. If it doesn't sell and they relist after 1/15 it will be in my livingroom. I am sending the description as written by the seller and and the photo.

BLENKO SPOOL DECANTER 587 L Well you WON'T see one of these on Ebay very often!!! This is one of Blenko's rarest and hardest to find decanters. Standing at approx. 37" is this beautiful Turquoise Spool Decanter, designed by Wayne Husted circa '59-60. It has the sandblasted Blenko signature logo on the bottom that was done in 1959 and 1960 only. Overall the condition is wonderful. Upon very close inspection there looks to be a small round/star burst crack. But when I run my finger over it there's nothing to feel which leads me to believe it is internal and was there from the beginning when it was originally hand blown.
