Could anyone help me to identify this massively large vase with flowers?  It has no identifying marks.
Thanks,
Charles.

Hi Charles, Your vase is a Wayne Husted design #6115L, should be about 14 1/2" high. The color looks like Olive Green.

Thank you.  Strange how attaching a name to a thing increases one's appreciation (I happen to collect Blenko)  :lol:  Further research on the net confirms what you say.  What threw me was the molded looking base without the pontil mark I normally associate with Blenko vases.

Blenko made quite a few piece without pontils on the bottom. Blown from the top and sheared off at the top, like this vase. Or blown into a mold like Blenko's water bottles which leave no pontil. I just sold 3 of these vases on ebay, the small, medium and large like yours. The medium had it's original box with leaflet.
