Early American Prescut (EAPC) Decorware

Sugar Lid – EAPC

This is the lid for the EAPC Sugar Bowl. It also fits the Flower Basket to create a covered trinket dish, or candy jar.

Small Vase – EAPC

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.

Small Candy Lid – EAPC

This lid is part of the Small Candy Dish. It was not sold separately.

Anchor Hocking introduced the Small Candy Dish in 1965. The bowls are the same size as the Dip Bowl, but have a smooth rim instead of a scalloped rim so the lid fits well. They’re pretty common and not too hard to find in the wild.

Small Candy Bowl – EAPC

This Small Candy Dish Bowl is the bottom of the Small Candy Dish. It is approximately the same size as the Dip Bowl, but has a smooth rim while the Dip Bowl’s rim is scalloped.

Small Ashtray – EAPC

These EAPC Small Ashtrays were sold in sets of four and packaged in gift boxes.

Ribbed Vase – EAPC

This Ribbed Vase may be the precursor to the star & lattice-patterned vase (Small Vase). It features a ribbed pattern on the panels that don’t have a star instead of the lattice-like pattern of the vases featured in many Anchor Hocking catalogs.

Oil Lamp Wreaths & Torches Chimney – EAPC

This Oil Lamp Globe is clear with a white Wreaths & Torches design (aka Diana) circling the widest part. This is the chimney used on Oil Lamps sold by Lamplight Farms.

Oil Lamp Beaded-Top Chimney – EAPC

The clear, beaded-top chimney is the original globe, made and issued by Anchor Hocking with EAPC Oil Lamps.

Oil Lamp Base Glass-Threaded – EAPC

Anchor Hocking’s Early American Prescut Oil Lamp was issued with two different bases, one that is brass-threaded and another that is glass-threaded (this one).

Oil Lamp Base Brass-Threaded – EAPC

Anchor Hocking’s Early American Prescut Oil Lamp was issued with two different bases, one that is brass-threaded (this one) and another that is glass-threaded.

Oil Lamp – EAPC

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.

Medium Ashtray – EAPC

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.

Large Vase – EAPC

This is the Large EAPC Vase that appears in Anchor Hocking’s catalogs. A similar 8.25″ vase followed a few years later.

Large Candy Bowl – EAPC

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.

Large Ashtray – EAPC

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.

Gondola – EAPC

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.

Flower Frog 5-inch – Anchor Hocking

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.

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.

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.

Double Candle Holder – EAPC

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.
