Anchor Hocking Bubble Milkglass Vegetable Bowl

Milkglass, Vegetable Bowl

This is a very common item.  Comes in a large number of colours in clear glass as well as in the milkglass and in a large variety of shapes and sizes.

Replacements.com says this was manufactured between 1934-1965.  But here is a little mystery as it is signed with a weensy anchor that Glass Lovers database says is dated Anchor Hocking Newell Specialty Glass 1987.

So…..I had to find out a bit more about this discrepancy.  At the Anchor Hocking Museum there is a history of the company and its many iterations.  Included isthis information:

“The Newell Corporation acquired the Anchor Hocking Corporation on 2 July 1987. With this renewed influx of capital, several facilities were upgraded and some less profitable facilities were either closed or sold. The Clarksburg, West Virginia, facility was closed in November 1987, Shenango China was sold on 22 January 1988, and Carr-Lowry Glass was sold on 12 October 1989. Today, Anchor Hocking enjoys the financial backing and resources as one of the 18 decentralized Newell Companies that manufacture and market products in four basic markets: house wares, hardware, home furnishings, and office products. You may recognize such familiar Newell Companies such as Intercraft, Levolor Home Fashions, Anchor Hocking Glass, Goody Products, Anchor Hocking Specialty Glass, Sanford, Stuart Hall, Newell Home Furnishings, Amerock, BerzOmatic, or Lee/Rowan.”

Perhaps this line was produced when the company took over the Corporation in 1987.  Check out the Museum.  It is a private museum and has an interesting history of its own.

Grapes, Milkglass

I picked up this one glass in the U.S.  Knew it would prove interesting.  It has…..

From Carnival Heaven…..

“The Harvest molds were created in the 1950’s. The Harvest molds are extensive. They include a whole dinnerware line.  There are dinner plates, salad plates, bread and butter plates, cups, saucers, goblets, large ice tea tumblers, mid-size tumblers, juice tumblers, large serving platter, salt and pepper shakers, covered butter dish, sugar/creamer/tray set, covered and uncovered wedding bowls, a three piece canister set, lace edge spooners both covered and uncovered, water pitcher, cake stand,  snack sets, sherbet set,  punch set, candle holders, large and small vases, compotes and more.

The Harvest molds were first used to produce beautiful snowy white, handmade milk glass items.  The milk glass items were called Colony Harvest.  Colony is a trademark of the Lancaster Colony Corporation. Indiana Glass produced the milk glass Harvest items but they were never sold under the Indiana Glass name.
Indiana Glass continued to produce the milk glass Harvest items through out the 1950’s and 1960’s.  The “Colony Harvest” pattern was obtained most often through the redemption of S & H green stamps in the midwestern states. You received a stamp for each $1.00 you spent and when a book of 300 or so was filled, you could redeem it for merchandise.  Colony Harvest was a very popular pattern and soon there was a need to increase production to meet the demand.  Some of the more popular Harvest molds were adapted to machine use.”

Candle Holder, Candlestick Holder, Floral, Milkglass

When we were in the States I picked this up.  I saw the signature on it, didn’t know what it was so I had to bring it home and check.  I tried to photograph it for the post, but the bottom was too shiny and I couldn’t get it to show up.  The IG of the mark stands for Imperial Glass.

This piece was made from 1950-64, according to Replacements.  There was a series of these pieces in a number of colours and finishes including this satin milkglass.

Pretty – too bad I couldn’t have found 2!
