I own a lot of Husted but no Raindrops, this is a photo of Raindrop which i covet.

Blenko Glass Raindrop Specialty Line by Wayne HustedBlenko design #23-DR from the Raindrop specialty line by Wayne Husted, designed in 1960 and made for 1 year only. In 1969 Hused created 23 designs executed in thick clear leaded glass, seeded with irregularly sized bubbles. All were available only in clear raindrop, and were not issued in any other colors. Raindrop was for Blenko, an entirely new look, like nothing the company had produced before. . This examplie has the original paper "blow pipe" sticker that was used only for this speciality line, along with the etched Blenko signature on the bottom. This is an example of why Wayne Husted is my hero and should be known as the one and only Blenko Glass Designer after all he is the person who made and keeps Blenko alive.
