Featured Blenko #972 decanter. Worth?

I know people don’t always like to give opinions on what things might be worth, but I am kinda stumped on this one. I can’t find any that have sold, except one on worthpoint, and it did not have a stopper. The only other one like it, that I can find, is currently for sale on ebay. They wanted $799. Is anyone here experienced with blenko enough to guess at what it may be worth? Here is the link to worth point. I don’t have an account but I know some of y’all do. https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/blenko-972-hand-blown-amethyst-art-51200609



Thanks for any guesstimates.

 

$799 for Blenko is possible. I guess? I'm not a glassie though and would probably put it back at the ill Will if it was over $19.99

 

Ha! I paid $20 for it today. So, very close to what you would have paid.

 

$82.00 (2012).

 

Thanks a bunch!!!

 

luv that color.......

 

Like Poke said to Scarlett "Askin aint gettin" ! $799 ??? Thats madness. Ayt their peak they werent bringing that much.

 

Me too

 

I agree. If it’s still listed that means no one is buying.

 

I might try the Blenko facebook group.

 

Having the original stopper bumps that $ up a bit.

Maybe others can speak to this... When did the "Blenko craze" really take off? Was it already in full swing in 2012? If anything I think prices might be slightly down from 5 years ago, but anyone know what was happening in 2012? (The date of the WP auction.) Might help with estimating value.

Nice find.

 

I thought it was just starting to gather some steam now, or maybe four or five years ago.

 

I don’t know when the Blenko craze took off. I figured the price would at least be doubled or tripled with the stopper. But what do I know? It seems like it might be a rarer piece because I can’t find many like it online. But maybe not. What I failed to mention before is that I already have another of the same style in green. I never contemplated selling the first, so I never researched it. It has some pretty bad water stains in it that I could not seem to get out.

 

That's a very pretty set!

 

The facebook Blenko group has said that this piece is definitely harder to find. They do comment on value. But I am glad to know I found a good piece of glass.

 

no one likes to give out values .... too many unknowns...
