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. The bowl is simply listed in the catalog as “788 – 10 3/4″ Bowl”. It has since gone by many names in advertisements and Collectors’ Book listings, including Salad Bowl and Fruit Bowl among others.

Anchor Hocking included the Large Serving Bowl in at least three sets: Chip & Dip Set, Salad Maker, and Salad Set. It fits the Cake Stand perfectly. Just set it on top of the smooth end and rotate it a bit until it locks in place.

There are myriad uses for this lovely bowl, including tossed salads, hot rolls, chips, popcorn, etc. I keep one of mine on a Cake Stand on the counter to hold small bags of chips and assorted snacks. It’s a very handy bowl!
