The design showcases a central medallion with a graceful ballerina figure, encircled by intricate swags of beads, floral garlands, scrolls, and ornate motifs that evoke Art Deco elegance. The plates are crafted in a translucent green hue, infused with uranium oxide, which gives them their signature vaseline glass appearance and causes them to fluoresce a vibrant green under UV black light (as demonstrated in the provided photos).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe set includes:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" aria-level=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFour round plates, approximately 9.25 inches in diameter, ideal as bread and butter plates, saucers, or sherbet liners.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" aria-level=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOne square plate, approximately 8.25 inches across, commonly used as a luncheon or salad plate.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe pattern was one of Anchor Hocking's first mold-etched lines and remains highly popular for its detailed craftsmanship and historical significance.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOrigin: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eManufactured by Hocking Glass Company (later merged into Anchor Hocking) in Lancaster, Ohio, USA.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAge: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eProduced during the early 1930s, specifically from 1930 to 1934, during the height of the Great Depression.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMaterial: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePressed soda-lime glass colored with uranium oxide (commonly referred to as uranium or vaseline glass), which is non-toxic in this form but provides the characteristic fluorescence.
