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 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 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.
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 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.
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.
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.
