EAPC Water Glass

Water Glass – EAPC

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.

EAPC Syrup Dispenser

Syrup Dispenser – EAPC

Anchor Hocking first introduced the Syrup Dispenser in 1967 along with the Breakfast Set. I’ve seen it with several different colored spouts, but only white or off-white in the Anchor Hocking catalogs. It doesn’t hurt to have several to hold a variety of syrups. You can even use them as shakers for red pepper flakes or Parmesan cheese if you replace the spout with a shaker lid.

EAPC 10-inch dia Snack Plate with Cup Ring

Snack Plate – EAPC

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.

EAPC Punch Bowl

Punch Bowl – EAPC

Strangely, the EAPC Punch Bowl never got its own listing in an Anchor Hocking Catalog – at least through 1979. I haven’t found any catalogs later than 1979 yet. It was only offered in sets: the Entertainment Group, Punch Set, and Punch Set with Stand.

EAPC Corn-on-the-Cob dish

Pickle Dish – EAPC

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.

Adams' Magic Milk Pitcher featuring EAPC Milk Pitcher

Magic Milk Pitcher

The Adams’ Magic Milk Pitcher magic trick features an EAPC Milk Pitcher. The effect of the trick is that “More than half a pitcher, full of milk, is poured into a folded newspaper. The newspaper is crushed and thrown to the audience. The milk has disappeared. The balance of the milk is now poured into a glass.”

EAPC Juice Glass

Juice Glass – EAPC

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.

EACP Iced Tea Glass

Iced Tea Glass – EAPC

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.

EAPC Basket

Flower Basket – EAPC

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.

EAPC Electric Lamp without shade

Electric Lamp – EAPC

The Electric Lamp comes in two sizes. The large homemade lamp was made from the 10″ Vase, the small one by Hi-Lite Industries from the 8.5″ Vase. Many homemade lamps have also been made with Small 8.5″ Vases. Collectors often use an inverted Punch Bowl with a hole drilled in the bottom as a shade for the large lamp and an inverted Large Serving Bowl for the small lamp.

EAPC Divided Oval Tray with Handles

Divided Relish Tray – EAPC

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.

EAPC Punch Cup

Cup – EAPC

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.

EAPC Cruet Stopper

Cruet Stopper – EAPC

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.
