Vintage Anchor Hocking Wexford Clear Butter Dish
$36.99
Vintage Anchor Hocking Wexford Clear Butter Dish. Measures about 2.25" in height by 8" long. Excellent condition.
This Anchor Hocking Wexford butter dish is a quintessential piece of American glassware, featuring the iconic crisscross diamond pattern that has made this line a favorite for decades. Produced during the peak of the pattern's popularity in the 1970s and 1980s, the clear glass is designed to catch and refract light, giving it a brilliant, sparkling appearance on the dining table. The set consists of a heavy rectangular base with a subtle gallery edge to keep the lid secure, and a matching domed cover that protects the contents while showcasing the intricate pressed glass detail. Its substantial weight and texture provide a tactile quality that modern mass-produced glassware often lacks.
Incorporating this piece into a kitchen collection adds a touch of traditional elegance that fits perfectly with a country farmhouse or a classic traditional aesthetic. Beyond its primary use for butter, the dish is an excellent choice for serving small artisanal cheeses or chilled spreads during a brunch gathering. The clarity of the glass and the excellent condition of the piece ensure it remains a functional work of art. Styling it alongside white linens or polished silver allows the geometric patterns to stand out, making it a timeless addition to the scullery that bridges the gap between mid-century utility and ornamental charm.
This item is vintage, approximately 40 years old. All measurements are close but approximate. I measure in quarter inches.
