I have one just like it, but it's a greenish color. I never knew what it was, now I do. Thanks!
Your welcome, Tiki- Blenko has a very distinct look and once you familiarize yourself with it, you'll be able to recognize a piece immediately.
Very nice find. I just found one today at the Goodwill for 1.99. It has half of the Bock B Blenko sticker on it and it is either dusty rose or orchid. Does anyone know how much these go for?
I was getting ready to put a purple one in a yard sale for a dollar when this was posted. I believe they are in the $40 range on the Blenko site. Check these out !

I found one as well at a thrift shop not too long ago. It is light amethyst and has the oval Blenko sticker which I have come to find out was used from 1985-2000.
