Material
Pressed clear soda-lime glass with a high-gloss finish; known as 'EAPC' or 'Star of David' pattern.
Condition
Excellent. The glass appears clear with no visible 'clouding' or dishwasher haze. No obvious chips or flea bites are visible along the rim or the sharp pressed edges.
Demand Level
Moderate. EAPC has a dedicated following among vintage glass collectors, but because it was mass-produced, it is relatively common.

Description
Vintage Anchor Hocking Early American Prescut (EAPC) juice glass, often referred to as the 'Star of David' pattern. This 4-ounce juice tumbler features a highly textured, pressed glass design with interlocking geometric stars, fans, and hobnail-style details. The reflective quality of the glass is excellent, designed to mimic the look of expensive cut crystal.
Key Features
Highly collectible 'Star of David' pattern; classic Mid-Century Americana aesthetic; heavy, durable pressed glass; excellent light refraction.
Authenticity Indicators
Confidence level: High. This pattern is iconic to Anchor Hocking; look for a small 'anchor inside a square' logo on the bottom, though many EAPC pieces were unmarked. The weight and sharpness of the mold are characteristic of the 60s production.
Flaws to Note
Check for 'flea bites' (tiny chips) along the intricate patterns and the top rim. Look for 'cloudiness' caused by hard water or dishwasher etching, which is common in this era of glass.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Etsy (best for vintage decor), eBay (best for replacing single pieces in a set), or Facebook Marketplace (if selling a large service set).
Selling Tips
Use keywords like 'EAPC', 'Star of David', and 'Mid-Century Glass'. Photograph against a dark background with a side-light to highlight the intricate pressed pattern. If selling locally, it is easier to move as a set rather than an individual piece.
