A stunning well preserved example of vintage Anchor Hocking Early American Prescut (EAPC) Star of David punch bowl set. This set features a distinctive pressed glass pattern known as "Star of David" or "Prescut Clear".
Manufactured by Anchor Hocking, the EAPC line was first introduced in 1960. The set includes a large punch bowl with a removable pedestal base, and accompanying 12 punch cups, 3 ladles (one for stirring shows wear) with 12 clear hooks for the cups one of which I broke while trying to photograph them. They're famous for being brittle and rare to find with the set. Please be careful when using them.
Typical Components: A complete set usually includes a large punch bowl, a pedestal stand (or base) for elevating the bowl, and matching cups, often with handles. Some sets included a ladle and plastic hooks for hanging the cups around the bowl, which this listing does include. Era: These sets are considered vintage, largely manufactured in the 1960s. Features: The clear glass features a brilliant, cut-glass style starburst or Star of David pattern and often has a scalloped rim on the punch bowl. Usage: These sets are popular for serving punch at parties, holidays, weddings, and other special occasions, and are also collected for their vintage appeal and decorative value.
Bowl measures 14 across at the rim and in mint condition. No chips or scratches, cracks or discolorations to be seen on any piece.
Note the label and hooks are made of acrylic/plastic The pedestal base can sometimes be inverted and used as a separate bowl. These sets are considered collectible vintage items, especially among enthusiasts of mid-century modern style and pressed glass.
