Anchor Hocking · Kitchenware > Glassware (Early American Prescut)
Era / Decade
1960s-1970s
Material
Pressed Glass (Non-lead crystal). High-durability soda-lime glass with a brilliant clear finish.
Condition
Very Good. The glass remains clear without 'clouding' or dishwasher etching. No major chips are visible on the handles or base, which are common stress points.
Demand Level
Moderate-Low. Highly common pattern with steady but saturated supply; best for buyers looking to replace specific broken pieces in a set.
Resale Value
Estimated Resale Value
Low: $8, Mid: $15, High: $22 (if sold as part of a cream and sugar set).
Estimated Retail Value
Original retail was under $5.00; comparable modern lidded glass jars retail for $15-$20.
Comparable Sales
Individual sugar bowls with lids consistently sell for $12-$18 on eBay. Full sets (Creamer, Sugar, Tray) can reach $35-$45. Shipping often costs as much as the item, which can limit sale speed.
Description
Vintage Anchor Hocking Early American Prescut (EAPC) sugar bowl with matching lid. Features the iconic 'Star of David' pressed glass pattern with elegant scroll handles and a pointed finial on the lid. Perfect for a farmhouse kitchen or vintage tea service.
Key Features
Recognizable EAPC collector pattern; includes original lid (often lost); timeless mid-century aesthetic; highly durable for everyday use.
Authenticity Indicators
Pattern recognition is the primary indicator. Anchor Hocking EAPC is typically unmarked. The specific starburst and leaf-scroll motifs are proprietary to this line. Confidence: High.
Flaws to Note
Flea bites or small nicks along the inner rim where the lid sits; potential manufacturing 'straw marks' (faint lines in the glass); check for 'sick glass' (permanent cloudiness from hard water).
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Etsy (vintage decor focus) or eBay. Facebook Marketplace is best if bundled with the matching creamer to avoid shipping costs.
Selling Tips
Use keywords like 'EAPC', 'Early American Prescut', and 'Star of David'. Photograph against a dark background to show the crystal facets. Use plenty of bubble wrap as the finial lid is fragile. Better as a 'bundle' item.
