This vintage Anchor Hocking clear glass bowl features the iconic Early American Prescut pattern, combining deeply molded pinwheel starbursts, diamond faceting, and a scalloped rim. Designed both as a standalone large salad/fruit serving bowl and as the base foot for the matching EAPC punch bowl set. The heavy glass weight (over 3 lbs) gives it high clarity, brilliance, and stability on display.

Authenticity Assessment This piece displays all classic structural signatures of genuine mid-century Anchor Hocking EAPC production:

  • Molded smooth inner surface paired with high-relief exterior geometric presswork.

  • Softly finished double-pressed seam lines characteristic of Anchor Hocking machine-pressed tableware from the 1960s.

  • Signature weight distribution (over 3 lbs for a 10-3/4" bowl), confirming solid lead-free flint glass formulation rather than modern lightweight acrylic or thin imported glass reproductions.
