Description
A beautiful vintage Anchor Hocking Wexford pattern serving bowl. This clear glass bowl features a distinctive two-tiered diamond cut pattern that catches the light elegantly. Measuring approximately 9-10 inches in diameter, it is perfect for serving salads, fruits, or using as a decorative centerpiece. The Wexford pattern is a staple of mid-century American glassware and is known for its durability and classic aesthetic.
Key Features
Timeless Wexford pattern; highly collectible as part of a larger set; durable pressed glass construction; versatile for both mid-century modern and farmhouse decor styles.
Authenticity Indicators
The Wexford pattern is unique to Anchor Hocking; it typically does not have a maker's mark on the bottom, but the diamond pattern uniformity and glass weight are the primary identifiers. High confidence.
Flaws to Note
Potential 'flea bites' (tiny chips) on the sharp edges of the diamond pattern or the inner rim; surface scratches from utensil use ('scuffing') consistent with age.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay, Etsy (for vintage appeal), and Facebook Marketplace (to avoid high shipping costs for heavy glass).
Selling Tips
Use keywords like 'Vintage,' 'Mid-Century,' 'Wexford,' and 'Anchor Hocking.' Clean thoroughly with vinegar to remove hard water spots. Wrap excessively in bubble wrap for shipping as glass is heavy and prone to impact breakage.
