Key Features
Timeless Star of David pattern; collectible Anchor Hocking EAPC line; classic mid-century holiday serving piece; versatile size for appetizers or jewelry storage.
Authenticity Indicators
Pattern matches Anchor Hocking's 'Early American Prescut' (EAPC) line exactly; lack of maker's mark is typical for this specific mass-produced line. Confidence: High.
Flaws to Note
Possible 'flea bite' chips on the sharp scalloped edges; potential light surface scratches from utensil use; minor manufacturing bubbles in the glass.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (best for vintage glass collectors), Etsy (for mid-century kitchen aesthetics), or Facebook Marketplace (local pick-up to avoid shipping fragile items).
Selling Tips
Market these as 'EAPC' or 'Star of David' pattern. Use high-contrast lighting to show the brilliance of the pressed glass. Wrap extensively in bubble wrap and double-box if shipping, as the edges are prone to chipping.
