Forest Green - Gorgeous Color from Anchor Hocking

Green glass is consistently my best selling color, whether it be depression glass like Sharon or Georgian, elegant Fostoria Fairfax or this retro glass from Anchor Hocking. This little vase was a 1960s era piece and the whole line was known by its color, Forest Green. It is a true green, the color of a green crayon, not teal and not chartreuse.

Anchor Hocking used this nice color in a several lines of their mid-century glass, and you will find square Charm pieces, green Bubble, Sandwich and the rounded nameless shapes like this cute little vase.

The Forest Green was similar to Royal Ruby in that Anchor Hocking used the name as a trademark, it was used on many different patterns, and the color was the main point of the glass.

We have several pieces of Forest Green listed in our TIAS site.
