Anchor Hocking Fire-King Wexford Milk Glass Sugar Bowl (Open/Two-Handled)
Anchor Hocking (Fire-King line) · Kitchenware > Glassware & Serving Pieces
Era / Decade
1960s to 1970s. The 'Wexford' pattern was introduced in 1967. While it is more common in clear glass, the opaque milk glass versions date to that same mid-century era.
Material
Milk Glass (opaque white pressed glass). High-quality, durable heat-resistant glass typical of Fire-King production.
Condition
Excellent. The glass appears glossy with no visible chips at the rim or handle joints. No evidence of 'dishwasher haze' or dullness. The footed base looks intact without fleabites.
Demand Level
Moderate. There is a steady market for milk glass collectors and those completing Wexford sets, but prices remain stable rather than skyrocketing.
Resale Value
Estimated Resale Value
Low: $8 | Mid: $12 | High: $18 (Note: This specific piece is a sugar bowl; if sold as a set with the matching creamer seen in the background, the set would value between $22 - $35).
Estimated Retail Value
$10.00 - $15.00 (as a vintage item; original pricing was likely under $2.00 during production).
Comparable Sales
Single sugar bowls in this pattern typically sell for $10-$15 on eBay. Sets (sugar and creamer) consistently sell for $25-$30 plus shipping.
