Mid-Century Modern Anchor Hocking Soreno pattern glass tumbler. Features a heavy, organic crinkle texture on the exterior with a smooth interior. The deep emerald green color is vibrant and classic of the 1960s. Approximately 4-5 inches tall with a weighted base.
Key Features
Highly collectible Mid-Century texture; Soreno is a flagship Anchor Hocking pattern; deep green colorway is popular for holiday tablescapes and MCM decor enthusiasts.
Authenticity Indicators
Soreno has a very specific irregular vertical ripple pattern. Anchor Hocking pieces of this era are often unmarked but have a characteristic weight and molded bottom ring. Confidence: High.
Flaws to Note
Look for 'flea bites' (tiny chips) along the textured ridges and the top rim. Check for 'dishwasher haze' (a permanent white cloudiness) which significantly lowers value.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Etsy (for vintage enthusiasts), eBay (for collectors replacing broken pieces), or Facebook Marketplace (if sold as a full set).
Selling Tips
Photograph with light passing through the glass to show the texture. Use keywords like 'MCM', 'Crinkle Glass', 'Soreno', and 'Forest Green'. If selling a single piece, market it as a 'replacement piece'.
