These pieces of glass were made after the Great Depression, most from the 1940s-1970s. I include mass-produced pieces aimed at the popular market, not the higher end elegant glass. Enjoy the parade!
Alice from Anchor Hocking / Fire King
Alice is a tiny pattern from Fire King (part of Anchor Hocking), made in a cup and saucer and dinner plate. Apparently the cups and saucers were free in oatmeal boxes but you had to purchase the plates. You can find it in white, white with red or blue trim, Jade-ite.
Blue Heaven from Anchor Hocking / Fire King
Blue Heaven is one of the decorated Fire King ovenware lines that included some table setting pieces such as the mug, small plate and cereal bowl. I do not know how many other pieces might be available.
Boopie from Anchor Hocking
Anchor Hocking made Boopie – also called Berwick – in the 1940s and early 1950s. It’s pretty common. In the photo the glass itself is Boopie and the cutting is Laurel. You’ll see Boopie without any cutting and also see Laurel on other glass shapes. Do not mistake this for Candlewick, which is elegant glass from Imperial.
Bubble from Anchor Hocking
Anchor Hocking made Bubble in the 1940s in crystal, light blue, Forest Green, Royal Ruby, white plus a few pieces in pink and iridescent.
Candle Glow from Anchor Hocking / Fire King
Candle Glow has a mug and custard cup but is otherwise ovenware.
Charm from Anchor Hocking
Charm pieces are square. Anchor Hocking/Fire King made this retro pattern in the early 1950s in the light blue Azure-Ite, Royal Ruby, Forest Green, some Jade-Ite and white. You can get an entire dinnerware set but no pitcher or drinking glasses or shakers.
Anniversary from Jeannette Glass
Jaeannette made Anniversary in the late 1940s then again in the 1960s in crystal, pink and some marigold iridescent. Sometimes people consider this pattern depression ware. It is a combination dinnerware / accessory pattern, with enough pieces to use for family dinners including serving pieces and a wine goblet, plus there are a candy jar, vases, comport and candle holder.
Look for the deep V-shaped grooves surmounted by diamond shaped indents to spot Anniversary.
Beaded Edge from Westmoreland
Westmoreland Glass made Beaded Edge in milk glass, both plain white and decorated. You can get dinnerware including serving pieces and the footed tumbler. Look for various fruits which are hand painted on this pure white glass, or you may find pieces decorated with birds, zodiac signs or a plain red rim.
Beehive from Hazel Atlas
Hazel Atlas started producing Beehive at the very end of the depression and continued into the 1950s. I’ve seen only crystal but there are pink and iridescent pieces too. It’s mostly an accessory pattern, creamer and sugar, footed tumbler, butter dish, cake plate with cover. The cereal bowl shown is unusual shaped compared to a lot of the depression era cereals which tended to be wider and shallow. I got the bowl at the very first estate sale I went to; it was labelled “depression glass”, and having no idea what I was doing I bought it. It took me several years to find out what it was, author Sandra McPhee Stout showed it in one of her older depression guides I got from the library.
Capri – Blue Glass from Hazel Atlas
Hazel Atlas used their gorgeous Capri blue colored glass for an extensive lineup of pieces and in several different shapes. Strictly speaking the name “Capri” is the color, not the pattern, but that’s being fussy. There are complete sets of dinnerware and many accessory and serving pieces. You can find Capri blue Octagon, Square, Dots, Seashell, Tulip and a few tumbler shapes. It’s all Capri!

Capri 1960s Glass from Hazel Atlas – Dinnerware
Celestial from Federal Glass
Celestial is a very pretty giftware pattern from Federal Glass made in crystal, iridescent crystal, marigold iridescent, smoke gray and green. There are bowls, a punch set, a vase, and possibly other pieces.
Christmas Candy from Indiana Glass
Christmas Candy has a wavy edge that looks like Christmas ribbon candy. The handles have the curvy, jagged edge shown in the cup and vertical pieces have wavy sides. Indiana Glass made this in 1937 through early 1950s but it is not as common a pattern as some others. You can find a small dinner set in either crystal or the beautiful Terrace Green teal color.
Clover Blossom from Federal Glass – White with Flower Decoration
Federal Glass made several dinnerware patterns in the 1960s using translucent white glass with various decorations. Clover Blossom is quite pretty. Federal made a small, basic dinnerware set with place setting plates and a serving bowl, round platter, creamer and sugar. You might find snack sets with gold trim on the rims. Pieces are available on eBay, Replacements and Etsy.
Constellation from Indiana Glass and Indiana for Tiara
Indiana made crystal Constellation in the 1940s and later produced colored pieces for Tiara. The platter shown has an impressed ray design in the center, which is typical. You may find pieces with intaglio fruits in the center, some frosted and milk glass too. Pieces are heavy. You can find complete dinner sets plus a water tumbler and goblet, many accessory pieces including a footed bowl, vase, pitcher, candle holder and cake stand. It somewhat has the look of the early pressed glass.
Country Garden aka Country Estate from Anchor Hocking
Country Garden, sometimes called Country Estate, is a serving bowl pattern. You can find the large bowl shown above in crystal plus the late 1960s Harvest Gold and Avocado Green glass, plus smaller glass bowls, sometimes sold together as a chip and dip set. The pattern alternates bark-textured and smooth panels and the base has raised dots on the underside. It’s quite attractive.
Daisy from Indiana Glass
Daisy is quite pretty, an informal charming design of stylized daisies and curved arrows. At one time I saw a lot of Daisy in antique malls and estate sales but not so much lately; the crystal cup and saucers were the only Daisy from the last 10 years or so. Per Gene Florence crystal Daisy is from 1933-1940 while amber is from the 1940s and of course, avocado and milk glass in the 1960s-80s. Daisy is a dinnerware pattern with several basic serving pieces, plus two tumblers.
Dewdrop from Jeannette Glass
Dewdrop is heavy, solid, rather thick glass. I don’t care for it much but must admit that it can sparkle and add a pretty accent. Jeannette made Dewdrop only in crystal from 1953 to 1956. It is mostly an accessory pattern, with a a punch set, lazy Susan, three tumblers, snack set, candy dish, pirxhwe, butter and a few bowls.
Diamond Point from Indiana Glass
Diamond Point is heavy, clunky glass that you can find in many accessory pieces including cruets, comports, pitchers, shakers, vases, tumblers, cake stands and more. Indiana made it in the 1960s and per Florence, released in colors for Tiara Home Products in the 1980s. I saw a ton of milk glass plus some crystal and the pink satinized comport shown above. (Comports were ubiquitous at the thrift stores where we lived.)
Double Fleur de Lis from Indiana Glass
Double Fleur de Lis is a lovely, elegant pattern from Indiana Glass that you’ll see plain, with cuttings and even with silver overlays as in the cake plate shown. Craig Schenning gives this as line number 607 in his excellent reference on Indiana Glass. It’s an accessory, decorative pattern with bowls, serving plates, a mayonnaise set, creamer and sugar.
Early American Prescut from Anchor Hocking
Early American Prescut (EAPC) used to be everywhere; I would see it at almost every estate sale, antique mall, thrift store. It’s a substantial pattern with a design of pressed stars and rays, mostly accessory or giftware pieces. You can find everything from vases, to shakers, to punch bowls, serving bowls, egg plates, chip and dip, relish trays, lazy Susans, pitchers. Anchor Hocking made this mostly in crystal but you’ll find the occasional avocado green, gold or light blue pieces. I’ve probably seen more colored gondola bowls or ashtrays than any other pieces. EAPC is reasonably priced for every day glassware.
Be aware there are similar prescut patterns that lack the 6-point stars and thus are not Early American Prescut.
Fleur from Arcoroc – French Made Glass
If you antique very much you’ll certainly find glass from Arcoroc. This is a French company. Fleur is mostly the type of pieces one would see on a salad bar, bowls, plates and a few tumblers.
Fleurette from Anchor Hocking / Fire King
Fleurette from Fire King is a small dinnerware pattern with basic place setting pieces plus a snack set, serving platter and vegetable bowl. Anchor Hocking used their basic white Fire King glass for this pretty decoration but produced it only two years, 1958-1960.
Forest Green from Anchor Hocking
Just as with Capri, Royal Ruby and Moroccan Amethyst, Forest Green is a color instead of a specific pattern. Anchor Hocking used this lovely green in many of the patterns they made in the 1950s and 1960s. Plus there are pieces that don’t fit into other patterns, such as those shown. Look for several tumblers, vases, stems and bowls, plus a punch set, pitcher and ashtrays.
Game Bird from Anchor Hocking / Fire King
Fire King made a complete set of dinnerware, including a couple tumblers, serving bowl and platter and ashtray, with their popular Game Bird design. There are several birds available, the Canada Goose shown, plus mallard duck, pheasant and ruffled grouse. I didn’t see any listing for oven/bake ware, unlike the Blue Heaven or Candle Glow patterns which have only a couple pieces of dinnerware.
Fire King mugs are fun to collect. You can find a gazillion designs and colors and the mugs are usable too. We have just a couple now and in hindsight I regret getting rid of so many.
Floragold from Jeannette Glass
Jeannette made Floragold in the 1950s when the iridescent marigold color must have been popular. (It is the same color they used for Iris and Hex Optic during the 1950s.) You might see it called “Louisa” because it is similar to a much earlier carnival glass pattern, but please realize Floragold is not the same. Jeannette made many pieces in Floragold and some pieces have variations. For example some tumblers have a smooth band around the top and some do not.
The curls of flowers and leafy stems is quite pretty, reminiscent of the earlier mold-etched depression glass. Many pieces have a square or square-ish component, e.g., the pitcher and cups shown have rounded square feet.
Golden Foliage from Libbey
Libbey Glass made mostly drinkware – tumblers and goblets – in this long running pattern made from 1953 to 1978, but they included a few accessory pieces like this salad bowl plus a few plates. You are bound to see this in antique malls and it’s quite pretty with gold leaves on a frosted white band. There is a similar pattern called Silver Leaf which we cover below.
Golden Glory from Federal Glass
Golden Glory is similar to Clover Blossom, except it has bamboo leaf sprays in 22 karat gold. There are a few more pieces, including tumblers. Be aware that the gold designs wear off, especially if you wash the glass in the dishwasher. The creamer and sugar set shown had some gold loss.
Golden Grape, Golden Ivy, Golden Flower from Bartlett Collins
Bartlett Collins made these designs in the 1940s and 1950s. The white designs are raised and feel slightly rough to the touch because they are made from fine ground glass. I’ve seen mostly tumblers and pitchers in these. (The Golden Flowers is my own name for the design; I attribute it to Bartlett Collins because it is so similar to Golden Grape and the glass shapes are identical.)
Harp from Jeannette Glass
Harp is easy to identify with the stylized harp motif. This is mold etched with the design raised. Harp is a entertaining/dessert set, with the cake stand, cup and saucer, 7 inch plate, ashtray and coaster plus a vase. There are not enough pieces to use for regular meals. You might find Harp in crystal, crystal with gold as shown, iridescent, opaque shell pink, ice blue, pink, or red. Some of the cake stands have ruffled rims and some do not. (I would think the ruffled stand up rim would make it harder to cut the cake.)
Harvest from Colony Glass
Harvest combines two big trends from the 1960s and early 1970s, grape motifs and milk glass. You can find luncheon sets – the luncheon plate is 10 inches wide so big enough for dinner – snack sets, tumblers, comports, candle holders, candy boxes, pitchers and tumblers. It must have been quite popular. Gene Florence notes Colony distributed it via S&H Green Stamps, a more elaborate way to give premiums at the grocery store than stuffing a piece in a box of oatmeal.
Heritage from Federal Glass
Federal made Heritage from 1940 to the mid-1950s and its looks remind me of depression glass. You will find mostly crystal although Federal made a few bowls in green, blue and pink. It is a small dinnerware set with basic table setting pieces and serving bowls and platter.
Hex Optic from Jeannette Glass
Hex Optic is a pattern Jeannette originally made during the early depression in green and pink, then later re-issued a few pieces in iridescent. It is a beverage set with pitcher and tumblers.
Hobnail from Anchor Hocking / Fire King
Hobnail milk glass from Anchor Hocking is more translucent than the milk glass Hobnail from Fenton. It’s mostly a decorative pattern with vases/planters, plus some tumblers and accessory pieces. Notice the horizontal bands on the side; this motif lets you tell Fire King apart from the other makers of milk glass hobnail patterns. The pieces I’ve seen were marked Fire King.
High Point from Anchor Hocking
I know nothing about this pattern except I used to see it in antique malls and it’s quite attractive. Apparently it dates to the 1950s and Anchor Hocking made tumblers and a pitcher in Royal Ruby and crystal and bowls such as the one shown.
Holiday from Jeannette Glass
Holiday from Jeannette Glass is a dinnerware pattern with several fun accessory pieces such as candle holder, cake plate, tumblers. Jeannette made all pieces in transparent pink and a few pieces in crystal or iridescent glass. Sometimes this is nicknamed “Buttons and Bows”.
Iris and Herringbone from Jeannette Glass
We think of Iris as a depression glass pattern but the iridescent pieces date to the 1950s as does the green on white vase shown.
Jane Ray from Anchor Hocking / Fire King
Jane Ray is a small dinnerware pattern made in Jade-ite with some pieces also in ivory or Vitrock opaque white glass.
King’s Crown from Indiana – 1970s
Indiana Glass is only one of the companies which made King’s Crown; I include it here because you are likely to find the Bicentennial Blue color in your antique shopping. Be aware there are other colors.
King’s Crown from Tiffin Glass
Tiffin made King’s crown for a long time including ruby or cranberry flashed as shown above. Please know that I know very little about this pattern (even less than I do about most of the others on this page).
Lace Edge from Anchor Hocking / Fire King or Hazel Atlas
Anchor Hocking made Old Colony, aka Lace Edge during the depression in pink and clear, and Replacements shows the same Old Colony design in milk glass noted as produced in the 1970s. This Lace Edge shown here is quite different, with a simpler edge and is thicker glass. You might see it with decals or hand painted. It’s a small dinnerware pattern. I see a very similar pattern in the book Hazel Atlas Glass by Gene Florence.
Lido from Anchor Hocking
Lido from Anchor Hocking is one of the wrinkle/crinkle glass patterns, see Soreno later in this page. Lido is a drinkware pattern with this great round pitcher and tumblers. I’ve not seen plates or bowls but wouldn’t be surprised to find they exist. Avocado green and this pretty gold are the most common colors.
Medallion by Anchor Hocking
We used to find Medallion at every auction we went to – perhaps it was popular in our area – usually in crystal but sometimes avocado green or harvest gold. We’ve seen quite a few bowls, both the small ones shown plus larger ones, a decanter and tumblers. Replacements shows a pitcher too and sometime the big and small bowls are paired to make chip and dip sets.
Moderntone Platonite from Hazel Atlas
Hazel Atlas used their opaque Platonite white glass in their Moderntone pattern from 1940 into the 1950s with many colors and patterns. The two I show are lighter colors with white interiors and some of the same pieces are colored inside and out. There are some designs too, stripes and a Willow style print, in both red and dark blue on white. Moderntone Platonite is a dinnerware pattern, although the dinner plate is rather small, under 9 inches, and it has many serving pieces. Hazel Atlas apparently didn’t make all pieces in all colors. It could be a fun pattern.
Moonstone from Anchor Hocking
Moonstone is Hocking’s old Hobnail pattern re-issued in a crystal with opalescent hobnails and edges called Moonstone from 1940 to 1946. Given this period overlaps WW2 it’s amazing how much Moonstone is available. It must have been quite popular. Moonstone is a luncheon pattern with many accessory and decorative pieces such as a puff box or the vase shown.
Moroccan Amethyst from Hazel Atlas
Moroccan Amethyst is like Capri, both from Hazel Atlas, in that we tend to group the pieces by their color and not the shapes and Hazel Atlas made many of the same pieces in both colors. You can find the Octagon, Swirl, Colony shapes in Moroccan Amethyst, although I don’t think they made the Dots or Hobnail patterns in this dark purple glass.
National from Jeannette Glass
Jeannette made this heavy glass pattern from the late 1940s into the 1950s. I’ve seen several National pitchers in restaurants, it’s pretty distinctive with the large hobnails on the base and thick vertical ribs. Unlike the ice cream dish (Replacements calls it a banana split) that we had, most handles look like little logs. National is mostly an accessory or drinkware pattern, with several tumblers, lazy Susan, pitcher, candy, ashtrays. There is an 8 inch plate, cup and saucer so you could use this for dessert or lunch.
Old Quilt from Westmoreland Glass
Westmoreland made this heavy pattern for years, beginning with crystal only in 1912 (!) and releasing in milk glass in 1940 and a few other iridescent colors in the 1970s. Replacements says they continued the milk glass until the mid 1980s. The only piece I have seen is this covered candy jar which was not easy to identify. Replacements shows mostly accessory/decorative pieces plus a tumbler and small plate, so I’m guessing it was mostly part of their line up of decorative milk glass. (Not my cup of tea but a lot of people love milk glass!)
Oleander from Indiana Glass aka Willow, Magnolia Leaf, Number 1008
You will find Oleander creamers and sugars at most antique malls, but other pieces can be harder to find. Indiana made this pattern in crystal, plus crystal with ruby or other stains in the leaves, and a few pieces in the same Terrace Green they used for Christmas Candy. Oleander is mostly an accessory pattern with seeral candles, two candy dishes, punch bowl set, several decorative bowls.
Orange Blossom from Indiana Glass
Orange Blossom from Indiana Glass is a small pattern, with just enough pieces for a simple lunch, including two plates, a small bowl, cup and saucer, creamer and sugar. Indiana made it in milk glass only in the late 1950s. It is similar to the Indiana Custard depression glass made earlier in a darker colored glass.
Ovide from Hazel Atlas
Ovide, like Moderntone, is a pattern that Hazel Atlas made in the depression in transparent colors, then continued into the 1950s using their Platonite white glass with fired-on colors. Many Ovide colors are similar to Moderntone, the sharp, strong bold colors. (I’ve not seen the same light blues, pinks or greens in Ovide that we see in Moderntone.)
This is a neat pattern if you enjoy the colors and it’s readily available.
Paneled Grape by Westmoreland
Paneled Grape (it’s spelled with 1 L) from Westmoreland looks just like the name suggests, a set of vertical wide panels with grape bunches and grape leaves. Westmoreland made a gazillion pieces in milk glass or milk glass with decorations, including a full dinnerware set, several tumblers, vases, pitchers, bowls, a cup and saucer, goblet and many decorative items. Westmoreland made very good quality milk glass that captured the decorating trends of the 1950s and 1960s.
Park Avenue from Federal Glass
Park Avenue is a very small pattern, with a small and large bowl, ashtrays and tumblers. Federal made this from 1941 into the 1970s. We had several small juice glasses and a couple bowls for a while which I enjoyed. The pattern is pleasing to the eye.
Park Lane by Colony / Indiana Glass
Park Lane is another of those ubiquitous patterns you’ll find at estate sales and antique malls. I’ve seen it in this dark green and amber and possibly blue. It dates to the 1970s. We’ve seen stemware mostly but there is a sherbet plate too.
Peach Lustre from Anchor Hocking / Fire King
Anchor Hocking / Fire King used this shiny peach glass in several patterns, including rather plain shapes, the Shell shown, Swirl and Laurel. If you see the color then look at the shape to decide which you have. You can find a lot of pieces, both dinnerware and ovenware across the patterns.
Petal from Federal Glass, Later Indiana Glass
Our daughter collects Petal and has a huge collection of many colors and shapes. We had fun antiquing for this pretty pattern. It’s mostly decorative or accessory pieces with plates, bowls, bon bon and a candle. You can find crystal, iridescent crystal plus gold, green, red and some stained or painted pieces. Federal made Petal in from 1954 to 1979.
Pineapple Prescut from Anchor Hocking
Pineapple Prescut is similar to Early American Prescut except it lacks the stars in EAPC pattern. There are only a few Pineapple pieces, creamers, sugars, tumblers, snack sets. You’ll find it in crystal and white.
Pioneer from Federal Glass, Later Indiana Glass
Pioneer confuses me a bit. The small bowl shown has a smooth ground base, which makes me wonder whether it is from Federal Glass which made very few patterns that required hand work like this ground base. I’ve had other pieces, unfortunately without clear photos, that have molded fruit designs on the base. Not all pieces have designs in the base. Pioneer is a very small pattern, a few bowls and serving plates.
Primrose from Anchor Hocking / Fire King
Fire King made Primrose decorated dinner and ovenware for just a few years, 1960-63. There are tumblers and some accessory pieces as well as dinner pieces and bakeware.
Royal Ruby from Anchor Hocking
Anchor Hocking made several patterns and accessory/decorative items in their deep, rich red glass trademarked Royal Ruby. Phillip Hopper wrote a collectors’ guides to this glass.
Sandwich from Anchor Hocking
There are three Sandwich patterns that you might readily find, this one from Anchor Hocking, a high quality crystal pattern from Duncan Miller, and the next one which Indiana Glass made. The Anchor Hocking one has double lines around the daisy petals; the Duncan Miller Sandwich has a raised diamond between the large swirl scrolls.
Anchor Hocking made Sandwich in crystal for many years, then later started with the colors of the day, Forest Green as shown, Royal Ruby, Desert Gold, white, ivory, pink. It is a large pattern in crystal and some colors, a full dinnerware set, some tumblers and accessory pieces.
Sandwich from Indiana Glass, aka Early American, Line #170
Indiana made their Sandwich design in crystal, amber, a Chantilly green (light color) plus amber, green and red. They later sold a lot of this pattern in several other colors through Tiara. I saw more amber than other colors when we lived in Michigan. As you can see from my photos, Indiana made many decorative and accessory pieces plus dinnerware.
Sheaves of Wheat from Anchor Hocking / Fire King
Sheaves of Wheat is a small pattern, cup and saucer, plate, a couple bowls. Anchor Hocking made it from 1957 to 1959 in crystal and jade-ite. The cup and saucer are the only pieces I saw in the 20 years we trolled antique malls, flea markets and estate sales.
Shell from Anchor Hocking / Fire King
Shell from Fire King dates from 1965 to 1972 and comes in plain white, white with gold trim called Golden Shell, Peach Lustre/Golden Lustre, Aurora which has a mother-of-pearl finish, and Jade-ite. Fire King made a full dinnerware set in Golden Shell and Peach/Golden Lustre, and the basic pieces in the other colors. Be aware that all of the lustre colors can scratch or fade, especially if you wash in the dishwasher.
Note the scalloped rim on the bowls shown. This rim differentiates Shell from Swirl which looks quite similar.
Soreno from Anchor Hocking
My photos give a hint of the number of Soreno pieces you might see. Since this is a late 1960s pattern the avocado green pieces are ubiquitous, but Anchor Hocking made it in crystal, an iridescent crystal called Aurora (the tumbler), light aquamarine and gold. The chip and dip set with silver overlay is pretty neat. Soreno is an accessory and decorative pattern with tumblers and some dinnerware.
Star from Federal Glass
Star is a fairly small pattern, with pitchers, tumblers, a few pieces of dinnerware. It is crystal only. The pitchers seem the most common piece.
Stars and Bars from Anchor Hocking aka Thousand Line, Rainbow Stars
I included several pictures of this because you have surely seen one of these items. We used to see zillions of the bud vases, tall and short, white and crystal, in thrift stores and estate sales. Now, they aren’t so common.
This is durable, heavy duty glassware meant for daily use although it was marketed heavily as giftware too. Anchor Hocking started making Stars and Bars just before the US entered WW2 and continued for about 20 years but you could find pieces in stores for a long time after and florists used the little bud vases.
Swedish Modern from Anchor Hocking
Swedish Modern is a small decorative pattern that Anchor Hocking made in crystal, plus avocado, harvest gold, some Forest Green, and aquamarine. There are plates and cup and saucer but all we ever saw were bowls.
Please be aware that Anchor Hocking used the name “Swedish Modern” to refer to a stylized wheat cutting too, and I’ve seen a different cutting, the simple horizontal Laurel shown on the Boopie tumbler above, also called Swedish Modern.
Swirl from Anchor Hocking / Fire King
Anchor Hocking made Fire King Swirl dinnerware from 1949 to 1962 in several colors, plus aftermarket artists have decorated some of the plain white items. Plain white Swirl is a full dinnerware pattern, with several serving bowls and platters, but no pitcher or tumblers or shakers. The white trimmed with gold, as shown in the cup and saucer, lacks a few pieces, such as the cereal bowl. These were the colors we saw the most often when we shopped, but Fire King used this attractive pattern for their Azur-ite translucent blue, pink, a few pieces of Jade-ite and some white trimmed with yellow or red. Be aware there are two pinks, Rose-ite which is pink all over, top and bottom, and pink which usually has pink bottoms. Gene Florence lists pink tumblers in his Fire King book, but has no photos and I don’t know what these look like.
You can tell Swirl from the very similar Shell by the rims. Pieces with smooth rims are Swirl and rims with scalloped edges are Shell.
Teardrop from Indiana Glass
Teardrop is one of those Indiana Glass patterns that has gotten some undeserved dislike for the milk glass and red-stained comports and vases that abound in thrift shops. The crystal is quite pretty as are the crystal stained with red or yellow. Indiana made the vases, comports and big oval footed bowls, most likely marketed to florists, in several shades of green, blue, pink, white and flashed colors.
Crystal Teardrop is a decorative accessory pattern, with cake stands, candle holders, bowls, candy dishes, servers, trays.
Vintage from Anchor Hocking
Both the snack set and the small white planter are called “Vintage” from Anchor Hocking and they both have bunches of grapes. The snack set comes in crystal only and the plate surface is mostly smooth with the raised grape design. The planter is different; I hope you can see the texture on the surface. The planters come in milk glass or green and there are several sizes plus a lidded candy jar.
Wexford from Anchor Hocking
Anchor Hocking made Wexford from 1967 to about 2000 in a huge assortment of pieces, mostly accessory or decorative pieces, plus tumblers and goblets, a snack set. You have almost certainly seen the cannisters which are attractive and useful; I know people who use these to package cookies for gifts. Wexford is heavy, fairly thick glass, mostly crystal but there are some light gray or green pieces and a few with applied color.
Wheat by Anchor Hocking / Fire King
Wheat is similar to other Fire King dinnerware patterns. It is white translucent glass with a wheat design and comes in a dinnerware set plus baking dishes and there is a clear tumbler with the same wheat design. Wheat designs were popular during the mid 1960s when Anchor Hocking made this.
Wild Rose with Leaves and Berries by Indiana Glass
Indiana made Wild Rose in crystal, satinized and iridescent crystal, sprayed on colors and some very attractive multi colored glass. This is a very small accessory pattern with bowls, relish dishes, candle holder which looks like the sherbet shown with a candle cup in the middle. The sherbet as you see looks like a small, narrow bowl; the sherbet plate is the only plate in this pattern. Wild Rose dates from the 1950s to 1980s.
Windsor from Federal, Later Indiana
Federal Glass made Windsor around 1974, then Indiana produced it in the 1980s and 1990s after they purchased the molds from Federal. It’s mostly crystal with some blue, gold and pink and I’ve seen iridized colors. Windsor is mostly accessory/serving pieces, with a snack set, small dessert plate, tumblers.
Yorktown from Federal Glass
Federal Glass made the colonial-styled Yorktown in the 1950s mostly in crystal and yellow, plus some iridescent, milk glass and smoke gray. It’s mostly an accessory pattern but there are enough pieces for a simple dinner, plus tumblers, a snack set and a vase. It’s quite appealing.
Post about Yorktown:
Yorktown Mid-Century Glass from Federal
