Anchor Hocking Wexford Water Goblet with Gold Trim
Anchor Hocking · Kitchenware > Glassware
Era / Decade
1960s-1970s (Mid-Century Modern to late vintage)
Material
Pressed glass with a 22k gold flashed or encrusted rim. Notable for its durability and distinct diamond pattern base.
Condition
Good to Very Good. The glass structure is intact without visible chips; however, the gold trim shows significant thinning and fading on the left glass, which is common with age and improper washing.
Demand Level
Moderate. Wexford is a highly collected pattern, but gold-trimmed pieces are niche and the condition of the gilding heavily dictates demand.
Resale Value
Estimated Resale Value
$10.00 - $25.00 for the pair, depending on the severity of the gold wear.
Estimated Retail Value
$8.00 - $12.00 per goblet adjusted for inflation/original market value.
Comparable Sales
Recent sold sets of 4 clear Wexford goblets average $30; gold-rimmed pairs in excellent condition have sold for $25-$30. These, due to gold wear, are closer to the $15 mark.
Description
A pair of vintage Anchor Hocking Wexford pattern water goblets. These pieces feature the classic diamond point and circle pressed glass design transitioning into a clear upper bowl. Distinguished by a gold-tone band at the rim and a secondary pinstripe gold band below it. Measuring approximately 6 inches tall.
Key Features
Collectible Wexford pattern, gold-rimmed variant (rarer than plain glass), heavy pressed glass quality, classic Mid-Century tabletop aesthetic.
Authenticity Indicators
Distinctive Wexford diamond and circle motif at the base of the bowl. Absence of seams is common in higher-quality pressed glass from this era. Confidence: High.
Flaws to Note
Significant wear and fading on the gold rimming (gilding loss). Minor surface scratches from shelf wear. Red residue/sticker on the base of one glass needs careful removal.

Selling Tips
Photograph against a dark background to make the white etched-looking pattern and gold rim pop. Use keywords like 'Hollywood Regency', 'MCM', and 'Replacement Glass'. Pack with double-boxing to ensure safe transit if shipping.
