Stars and Bars (line #1000) is one of Anchor Hocking's most handsome patterns, produced from 1924 through 1965. The name is precisely descriptive: straight and arched bars frame a repeating field of pressed stars, creating a surface that refracts light from every angle. This two-section oval dish has built-in handles and a low, elegant profile.

Equally at home holding olives and pickles at a dinner party, rings and small jewelry on a nightstand, or simply on a shelf where it can catch the light. A graceful housewarming or hostess gift for anyone who collects American pressed glass or simply appreciates the way good design ages.

Anchor Hocking's pressed glass lines dominated mid-century American kitchens, prized for combining decorative detail with everyday durability.
