Early American Prescut (EAPC) Dinnerware includes plates, cups, glasses, small bowls, etc. useful for individual place settings on a dining table.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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 EAPC Bread Plate differs from the Small Snack Plate in that it doesn’t have a cup ring.
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.
