The Rare Blenko Rialto White Ruby Glass Decanter is a stunning piece of vintage decorative glassware. Handmade in the United States, this mid century modern creation features very rare Rialto pattern, adding an abstract touch to any space. Designed by Wayne Husted and released in 1960, this line was very short lived and was discontinued after the first release due to poor sales and high breakage percentage during manufacturing. It has been said that the failure of this line to be profitable led to Mr. Husted being fired from Blenko. Standing at 13 1/2" tall, this original art glass decanter embodies the Mid-Century Modern style, making it a desirable collectible for those who appreciate Art Glass and the work of Blenko.
