Wexford - Sturdy Glass for Every Day Use from Anchor Hocking


Recognize this? Anchor Hocking made Wexford for a long time, all through the 1970s and 80s, 1967 to 1988 to be exact. You probably saw this, if nothing else in the ubiquitous canisters or goblets.


Wexford is big and heavy and sturdy and came in many useful shapes and sizes. A case in point is this small salad bowl. You could imagine using this with the larger bowl as a nice table set. Use it and run it through the dishwasher. The creamers and tumblers are also nice.

Every once in a while you may see this listed as early American pattern glass, or vintage depression glass. While it is not old, it is useful, reasonably priced and available. Something to consider if you want American-made, attractive glass.
