Description
A beautiful vintage Anchor Hocking green glass trinket dish or nut bowl featuring the 'Early American Prescut' pattern, commonly known as the Star of David. This piece features a 6-point star shape with scalloped edges and intricate pressed geometric details on the bottom. Approximately 4-5 inches in diameter.
Key Features
Highly collectible 'Star of David' pattern; vivid green color is more desirable than clear glass; compact size makes it an easy 'add-on' item for collectors.
Authenticity Indicators
Pattern match to known Anchor Hocking EAPC molds; lack of a maker's mark is common for this line; specific emerald hue is consistent with 20th-century American pressed glass. High confidence.
Flaws to Note
Small air bubbles (seeds) inherent to vintage glass manufacturing; price stickers usually leave residue that needs careful removal to avoid scratching.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Etsy (best for vintage aesthetics), eBay (best for glass collectors), or a local antique booth. Facebook Marketplace is less ideal due to low shipping value.
Selling Tips
Use the keywords 'EAPC', 'Star of David', and 'Mid-Century Modern' in the title. Backlight the glass in photos to show the color saturation. If it glows under UV light (UV-reactive), mention it to attract 'Glow Glass' collectors.
