Cruet – EAPC
The EAPC Cruet was included in several Early American Prescut multi-piece sets. It is one of the longest produced items in the EAPC line.
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.
Sugar Bowl – EAPC
This bowl is the bottom of the Sugar. However, it’s also a nice-sized bowl for layered deserts, parfait, pudding, etc. So you might want to collect more than one to use as dinnerware.
Sugar and Creamer Tray – EAPC
Anchor Hocking only listed this EAPC Sugar and Creamer Tray in the Sugar & Creamer Set. I have not found any listing for it by itself.
Sugar – EAPC
The EAPC Sugar is one of the most common EAPC items Anchor Hocking made because it was sold singly, by the dozen, and in many sets.
Creamer – EAPC
The EAPC Creamer was listed in the Sugar & Creamer Set in Anchor Hocking’s 1961-62 catalog, then sold separately beginning in the 1964 catalog. Later creamers have a different spout that shallower and less defined.
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.
Coaster – EAPC
These Early American Prescut Coasters were sold in boxed sets of six. They have 4 slightly raised bars in the bottom to keep your glass from sticking to the coaster when you pick it up.
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.
Chip & Dip Clip – EAPC
The Chip & Dip Clip, aka Dip Clip, is a handy wire gadget that hooks onto the rim of the Chip Bowl, aka Large Serving Bowl, to provide a platform and hook to support a Dip Bowl above the Chip Bowl. The first Chip & Dip Sets – cataloged from 1965 to 1973 – included a Brass Dip Clip, and later sets a Chrome Dip Clip.

Butter Server – EAPC
While you may see this EAPC Butter Server in online listings with both a Butter Dish Lid and a Handle, the boxed set only includes the Butter Dish Base, Butter Server Handle, and Butter Knife.

Butter Dish – EAPC
The EAPC Butter Dish holds a quarter-pound stick of butter.
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.
Small Snack Plate – EAPC
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.
Bread Plate – EAPC
The EAPC Bread Plate differs from the Small Snack Plate in that it doesn’t have a cup ring.
Cake Stand – EAPC
The Cake Stand/Flower Basket is the most versatile piece in the whole EAPC line. Put a Large Platter on top and you’ve got a Footed Cake Plate. You can create a raised Fruit Bowl by placing a Large Serving Bowl or Paneled Bowl on top. Add a Small Candy Lid for a Candy Jar.
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.
Small Serving Bowl – EAPC
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.
Large Platter 5-Part – EAPC
The EAPC 5-Part Large Platter has a raised edge in the center that forms a circle, and four more raised lines radiate out to the edge of the platter dividing the plate into five distinct sections. This makes it great for displaying a variety of foods on the same platter while also keeping them separate.
Hostess Tray 4-Part – EAPC
The 4-Part Hostess Tray may have only been made as a prototype. They’re quite rare – I only know one person with a 4-Part Hostess Tray in their collection.
4.25-inch Bowl with Scalloped Rim – EAPC
This bowl does exist I’ve been told. However, it was not put into regular production, so it’s a unicorn I doubt the part number is correct, even though Gene Florence listed it in several of his books
Dessert Bowl – EAPC
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.
3-Toed Bowl – EAPC
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.
Hostess Tray 3-Part – EAPC
The 3-Part Hostess Tray is the same size as the Hostess Tray. Great for relishes, crackers and cheese, fruit, etc.
Punch Bowl Stand – EAPC
Your presentation will go from nice to WOW when you place your EAPC Punch Bowl on this Punch Bowl Stand and then hang punch cups on the rim. The result is stunningly beautiful! Be prepared for compliments. It’s shiny.
Small Ashtray – EAPC
These EAPC Small Ashtrays were sold in sets of four and packaged in gift boxes.
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 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.
Shallow Bowl – EAPC
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.
5.75-inch Bowl with Scalloped Rim – DNE
Dimensions: 5.75″ dia or 5 3/8″ dia Part Number: 765? Catalogs: none Rim: scalloped Known Colors: Crystal Other Names: Dessert Bowl Part of: Notes: Does…
Console Bowl – EAPC
Many EAPC Collectors were surprised – me included – to learn that the elusive Console Bowl was none other than the Punch Bowl Base. Just turn it over and voilà you have a Console Bowl!
