Anchor Hocking’s Early American Prescut Oil Lamp is perhaps the most coveted and prized piece in the EAPC line. It was issued with two different Bases, one with a brass-threaded collar and another with a glass-threaded collar.
This small pitcher is the perfect size for milk, syrup, sauce, or gravy – I set it on Coaster or Oatmeal Cake Plate to catch any drips. I’ve also seen people use it as a pencil holder, toothbrush holder, or a small vase.
The Medium Serving Bowl is the perfect size for many side dishes on your dinner table. It was sold individually and in the Dessert Set and Hostess Set.

The Small Vase looks very much like the Large Vase only a little shorter. They make a nice pair. I keep mine filled with flowers year-round.
This is the Large EAPC Vase that appears in Anchor Hocking’s catalogs. A similar 8.25″ vase followed a few years later.
The Large Serving Bowl is one of the four items that launched Anchor Hocking’s Early American Prescut line in its Anchorglass 1960-61 Catalog.
These EAPC Salt & Pepper Shakers have Round Metal Lids and were sold in sets of two. They were also included in several other sets.
The glass base of these Salt & Pepper Shakers is the same as those in the Salt & Pepper Shakers with the Round Metal Lids.
This large Round Pitcher holds 60 ounces when filled to the rim. It is very pretty and also very heavy. Anchor Hocking sold it individually, as well as, in the Iced Tea Set and Water Set. T
I only know of one person who has one of these.
The Small Swirl Platter is highly desired by Early American Prescut collectors. The swirl dividers perfectly align with the platter’s design making it a beautiful addition to EAPC collections.
Anchor Hocking introduced the Small Platter in its 1964 catalog. It was intended to hold snacks for several people, not a meal for one despite Anchor Hocking calling it a plate. The term plate was often used in the 1960s to mean tray or platter.
The Large Platter is one of the four items that launched Anchor Hocking’s Early American Prescut line in its Anchorglass 1960-61 Catalog.
You can make lovely flower arrangements with this simple Flower Frog. Simply put a little water in a Flower Basket, set the Frog in the top, and start cutting and placing flowers in the holes. The Frog holds the flowers in position creating a lovely bouquet.
This 7-inch Flower Frog by Westmoreland with 43 holes fits the EAPC Console Bowl. It is an excellent EAPC Go-With Accessory.

This bowl in Crystal is part of the Large Candy Dish and was not sold separately. However, you may find it in other colors without a lid. As far as I can tell, the colored bowls were produced without a lid.

This clear acrylic ladle was included in several EAPC sets. The style changed several times during Anchor Hocking’s punch sets lifetimes. Many collectors replace it with a glass ladle.
Water Glasses 10 ounces when filled to the rim. They were sold individually and in Anchor Packs of four. Anchor Hocking also packaged six Water Glasses with a Large Round Pitcher to make up its Water Set, aka Beverage Set, aka Refreshment Set – depending on the catalog – for many years beginning in 1963.
In this day and age when we drink large glasses of everything, these little juice glasses aren’t nearly as useful as they were in the 1960s and 1970s when restaurants served juice in tiny glasses. They are, however, pretty common as Anchor Hocking sold them individually beginning in 1964, in Anchor Packs of four starting in 1973, and included them in both the Breakfast and Juice Sets.
Early American Prescut Iced Tea Glasses in very good condition are one the most avidly sought EAPC items. These glasses hold 15 ounces when filled to the rim. They were sold individually and in Anchor Packs of four. Anchor Hocking also packaged six Iced Tea Glasses with a Large Round Pitcher to make up its short-lived Iced Tea Set in the 1964 catalog.
The Hostess Tray is one of the four items that launched Anchor Hocking’s Early American Prescut line in its Anchorglass 1960-61 Catalog. The candy dish is listed in the catalog as “750 – 12 x 6½” Hostess Tray”.
You can use a Gondola, sometimes called a Banana Split Bowl, as tableware or decorware. I often use mine to hold goat cheese, Ritz crackers, cookies, carrots, and more.

This handy EAPC Divided Relish is quite common and easy to find. It’s also quite practical and useful. You can put slices of meat on one side and cheese on the other for a quick deli tray, pickles and olives, lettuce and tomato, crackers and cheese, cookies, and candy… The options are endless. Just pick your favorite duo and put this tray to work.
These sparkling Dip Bowls are ideal for salads, fruit, cereal, desserts, candy, and other uses. Anchor Hocking seemed to consider them quite versatile, too, because they included them in several sets.
These handy S-shaped clear plastic cup hangers hook onto the rim of the Punch Bowl so you can hang cups off of them for a really cool and dramatic effect.
This cup does not have the usual EAPC star because its pattern is actually Oatmeal. When Anchor Hocking began producing EAPC Punch Sets, they adopted this cup into the EAPC line instead of creating a new one and assigned it a 700-series number accordingly.
This is the top of a Cruet. You can often find stoppers that sit loosely in the pitcher, rather than creating a good seal. Unfortunately, that’s because they’re missing the plastic gasket that surrounds the glass. I’m still trying to find a solution to fix stoppers with broken or missing gaskets. If you come up with one, let me know.
EAPC Cruet Pitchers can often be found in the wild without a stopper. Of course, you can always use a cork, an olive oil spout, or a weighted flip-top bottle pourer as a replacement. Just be sure to choose one that fits a bottle with a 3/4″ opening.
The EAPC Cruet was included in several Early American Prescut multi-piece sets. It is one of the longest produced items in the EAPC line.
This is the lid for the EAPC Sugar Bowl. It also fits the Flower Basket to create a covered trinket dish, or candy jar.
This bowl is the bottom of the Sugar. However, it’s also a nice-sized bowl for layered deserts, parfait, pudding, etc. So you might want to collect more than one to use as dinnerware.
Anchor Hocking only listed this EAPC Sugar and Creamer Tray in the Sugar & Creamer Set. I have not found any listing for it by itself.
The EAPC Sugar is one of the most common EAPC items Anchor Hocking made because it was sold singly, by the dozen, and in many sets.
The EAPC Creamer was listed in the Sugar & Creamer Set in Anchor Hocking’s 1961-62 catalog, then sold separately beginning in the 1964 catalog. Later creamers have a different spout that shallower and less defined.
The Pickle Dish is perfect for pickles, corn-on-the-cob, celery and more. Anchor Hocking refers to it in its catalogs as 8½” Prescut Oval Relish or simply Relish. As so many other items are also referred to as a Relish dish, I used the name EAPC collectors most often use so it wouldn’t be confused with the many other relishes.
These Early American Prescut Coasters were sold in boxed sets of six. They have 4 slightly raised bars in the bottom to keep your glass from sticking to the coaster when you pick it up.
The Double Candle Holder is one of the few Early American Prescut pieces that doesn’t have a star. It was originally planned to have a star on the top, where the knob is today, however, during production, they had trouble getting it to release from the mold, so they simplified the design to what we see today.
The Chip & Dip Clip, aka Dip Clip, is a handy wire gadget that hooks onto the rim of the Chip Bowl, aka Large Serving Bowl, to provide a platform and hook to support a Dip Bowl above the Chip Bowl. The first Chip & Dip Sets – cataloged from 1965 to 1973 – included a Brass Dip Clip, and later sets a Chrome Dip Clip.

While you may see this EAPC Butter Server in online listings with both a Butter Dish Lid and a Handle, the boxed set only includes the Butter Dish Base, Butter Server Handle, and Butter Knife.

The EAPC Butter Dish holds a quarter-pound stick of butter.
These Snack Plates were most often sold in Snack Sets with Cups rather than singly. Snack Sets included four Snack Plates and four Cups. A raised ring, offset from the center, provides a nesting place for your cup to help keep it from sliding around while you chat and snack. Anchor Hocking produced Snack Sets for many of its lines.
This Small Snack Plate is the same size as the Bread Plate. The only difference is that this little plate has a ring to hold a cup and keep it from sliding around. The ring is positioned off-center so you have room for a snack or a small slice of cake.
The EAPC Bread Plate differs from the Small Snack Plate in that it doesn’t have a cup ring.
The Cake Stand/Flower Basket is the most versatile piece in the whole EAPC line. Put a Large Platter on top and you’ve got a Footed Cake Plate. You can create a raised Fruit Bowl by placing a Large Serving Bowl or Paneled Bowl on top. Add a Small Candy Lid for a Candy Jar.
The Flower Basket/Cake Stand is the most versatile piece in the whole EAPC line. Place a 5-inch Frog in it and it functions as a vase. Put the Small Candy Lid on and you’ve got a covered Candy Jar or trinket dish. Top it with a Large Platter for a Cake Plate or a Large Serving Bowl for Footed Fruit Bowl.
This EAPC Small Serving Bowl is almost the same size as the bottom of the Large Candy Bowl Dish but has a scalloped rim instead of the smooth rim of the Large Candy Bowl. It’s a very useful serving piece and also an excellent size for a side salad in a place setting.
The EAPC 5-Part Large Platter has a raised edge in the center that forms a circle, and four more raised lines radiate out to the edge of the platter dividing the plate into five distinct sections. This makes it great for displaying a variety of foods on the same platter while also keeping them separate.
The 4-Part Hostess Tray may have only been made as a prototype. They’re quite rare – I only know one person with a 4-Part Hostess Tray in their collection.
This bowl does exist I’ve been told. However, it was not put into regular production, so it’s a unicorn I doubt the part number is correct, even though Gene Florence listed it in several of his books
These handy little Dessert Bowls, so named because they’re part of the Dessert Set, are quite scarce and hard to find. Accordingly, they can be a little pricey when you do find them online.
The 3-Toed Bowl, aka Bon Bon, is a handy dish. You can use it as a serving piece, as dinnerware, or for home decor.
The 3-Part Hostess Tray is the same size as the Hostess Tray. Great for relishes, crackers and cheese, fruit, etc.
Your presentation will go from nice to WOW when you place your EAPC Punch Bowl on this Punch Bowl Stand and then hang punch cups on the rim. The result is stunningly beautiful! Be prepared for compliments. It’s shiny.
These EAPC Small Ashtrays were sold in sets of four and packaged in gift boxes.
While the Large and Small Ashtrays were added to the EAPC line quite early, it wasn’t until 1973 that Anchor Hocking produced this Medium Ashtray. Unlike the other two ashtrays, it was not gift boxed.
This Large EAPC Ashtray is quite heavy. You could seriously hurt someone if you conked them over the head with it. The Crystal color is somewhat common, while the Royal Ruby is quite scarce but beautiful.
This 5.25″ EAPC Shallow Bowl has a smooth rim. The clear bowls were often used by hairdressers to mix color and bleach. Perhaps that is why the clear ones are so hard to find today.

Many EAPC Collectors were surprised – me included – to learn that the elusive Console Bowl was none other than the Punch Bowl Base. Just turn it over and voilĂ you have a Console Bowl!
Anchor Hocking debuted Early American Prescut (EAPC) in its 1960-1961 catalog with just four pieces. EAPC is often referred to by some collectors as Star of David.
