Description
A stunning vintage Anchor Hocking 'Early American Prescut' (EAPC) 10-inch serving bowl, often referred to as the 'Star of David' pattern due to its intricate geometric pressed design. Features a deep basin and a decorative sawtooth rim, reflecting light beautifully. Ideal for holiday punch, fruit salad, or as a centerpiece display piece.
Key Features
Highly recognizable mid-century pattern, heavy and durable construction, classic Star of David design, and a popular 'bread and butter' item for vintage glass collectors.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. This pattern does not typically have a maker's mark; it is identified by the specific starburst and fan design. The weight and sharpness of the press are characteristic of Anchor Hocking.
Flaws to Note
Serrated sawtooth edges are prone to 'flea bite' chips (tiny nicks). Look for 'dishwash haze' or clouding which cannot be removed. Check for interior utensil marks.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Etsy (for vintage enthusiasts), Facebook Marketplace (local avoids high shipping costs), or eBay (for maximum reach).
Selling Tips
Avoid high shipping costs by offering local pickup if possible, as it is heavy and fragile. If shipping, double-box it. Use keywords like 'EAPC', 'Star of David', 'Vintage Serving Bowl', and 'Mid-Century Glass'. Photograph on a dark surface to make the clear glass details pop.
