Anchor Hocking Royal Ruby CupsPosted these and shortly thereafter found myself in a thrift shop picking up the cups.  No saucers though.  I’ll have to keep my eyes open for those!

Anchor Hocking RUby Red Sherberts (2)I love the richness of the colour of these pieces.  I have a number of pieces of coloured glass on display in my living room.  The dark greens, red and blues add a great deal of vibrancy to my room.

Alas these pieces are closed up in a kitchen cabinet.  There’s only so much glass that I can have out on surfaces!!!!!Anchor Hocking Ruby Red Bowl (2)

These pieces are fairly easily found I think.  A vegetable bowl, flat nine ounce tumblers, and flat sherberts.  I like the sherberts in particular as they are a nice dessert sized and not too delicate to be easily broken.

Likely made in the 1950s/1960s.

Here’s a nice look at some more unusual Royal Ruby items at the Anchor Anchor Hocking Ruby Red GlassHocking Glass Museum.

I’ve posted this etch in other blanks and I have another couple shapes.  I’m going to have to hunt them down and take some photos. Cornflower Tumblers (2) But I’ve never come across the etch in a tumbler before.

I’ve earlier reported that Hughes used blanks from a number of the major U.S. glass producing companies, as well as European companies.  I have some gorgeous pink stems that were etched on a Tiffin blank (#15024).  In looking through my one Hughes reference book, my tumblers look very similar to those in a photo that have been attributed to New Martinsville, in the 1930s.Cornflower Tumblers

I wouldn’t mind keeping these.  I’m going to have to look for a few more!  Yippie.

I had forgotten I had bought these.  I’m trying to tidy up loose pieces of glass stuffed under (and on top of) furniture, thrown into drawers, stacked onside each other, etc. etc.  Anyway I spotted these pretty pieces on a shelf.

I think I bought these because they are signed with the cursive “L” that stands for Libbey.  I can’t quite date them – gonna keep on trying!
