Description
Vintage Anchor Hocking clear pressed glass tumbler or small vase featuring the classic 'Star of David' pattern. This piece showcases intricate geometric star bursts and textured hobnail-style accents typical of Early American Presale Glass (EAPG) revivals. Approximately 4 to 5 inches tall with a tapered body and weighted base.
Key Features
Highly recognizable Star of David pattern; bright, clear glass that catches light well; popular among mid-century glass collectors; versatile as both drinking glass or floral vase.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence; the pattern is a well-documented Anchor Hocking mass-produced line. It often lacks a maker's mark, relying on pattern identification.
Flaws to Note
Check the rim for 'flea bites' (tiny chips) and the base for shelf wear. Look for 'glass sickness' or permanent fogging from dishwasher use, which drastically reduces value.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Etsy or eBay are best for vintage glass enthusiasts. Facebook Marketplace is suitable if sold as a set.
Selling Tips
Use the keywords 'EAPG', 'Anchor Hocking', and 'Star of David'. Backlit photography is essential to show off the clarity and geometric pattern. This item sells much better in sets of 4 or more.
