Description
Lovely vintage Anchor Hocking Wexford pattern water goblet. This heavy pressed glass piece features the iconic geometric diamond-point design on the lower half and a faceted hexagonal stem. It has a clear, brilliant finish that catches the light beautifully. Ideal for holiday tablescapes, wedding rentals, or vintage-inspired home bars. Measures approximately 6 1/4 inches tall with a 10 oz capacity.
Key Features
Classic mid-century pattern with high durability; recognized 'Wexford' collectibility; heavy weight feels high-quality; dishwasher safe unlike delicate crystal.
Authenticity Indicators
Pattern recognition is the primary indicator (Wexford is distinct from similar patterns like Whitehall or Miss America by its criss-cross diamond sizes). Confidence: High.
Flaws to Note
Look for small 'flea bites' (tiny chips) along the sharp edges of the diamond pattern and the inner rim. Check for hard water filming or scratches from improper storage.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay or Etsy are best for shipping to collectors looking for single replacements. Facebook Marketplace is excellent if selling a large set (4+) to avoid shipping breakage risks.
Selling Tips
If you find only one, list it as a 'Replacement' piece. Using keywords like 'Diamond Point', 'Pressed Glass', and 'Mid-Century' will help SEO. If you have multiples, sell them as a set. High-contrast photography against a dark background will make the pattern 'pop'.
