Productdetails

Maker: Anchor Hocking (often abbreviated “AH” on tags). Pattern: Old Café (sometimes written Old Cafe). Color: Classic pink Depression glass. Form: Oval, ribbed body with a beaded central divider, scalloped rim, and distinctive scrolled/tab handles featuring swirl details. The handwritten tag (“Pink Depr. AH ‘OLD CAFE’ Relish Dish $9”) is correct. Old Café is a modest-sized pattern produced mainly in pink and crystal (with some Royal Ruby). It is sometimes confused with the very similar Fortune pattern, but the rounded ribs and specific handle style identify this as Old Café. Value The asking price of $9 is reasonable to slightly low for a clean example. Comparable Old Café pink relish/olive dishes typically sell in the $10–$25 range depending on condition. At $9 it is a fair deal if the piece is free of chips, cracks, or significant cloudiness. A nice, usable piece of classic pink Depression glass.
