Product Details

Anchor Hocking introduced the Star of David prescut glass pattern, often referred to as 'Wexford' or similar star-burst motifs, during the mid-20th century to meet the high demand for accessible, decorative table glassware. These molded glass pieces were manufactured in large quantities using automated press-molded techniques that allowed intricate, brilliant-cut appearances at a fraction of the cost of hand-cut crystal. Tableware sets featuring these brilliant geometric star patterns became immensely popular across American households during the post-war era, frequently sold individually or as part of larger dining table accessory sets in department stores. The durable, heavy-press glass design ensured they survived decades of daily use, making them enduring mid-century kitchen collectibles today.
