I have dozens of the platters - dozens, I tell you. 5 punch bowls because I love filling them with lemons, limes, oranges from my yard. I fill them up with hand picked walnuts. They are the best bowls ever! There is one item that I don’t have, the candlesticks, but that is the only item I don’t care much for. So many memories. So many. I miss my mom.

This was a beautiful glass pattern. I believe my Mom had some of these pieces. A whole dedicated set made for a very elegant holiday. When you put olives, celery, carrot sticks and spread in one or more of these pieces, it really looked like something. Now you go to a holiday dinner and they have paper plates and sterno heated pans. My mother used to really try to make things elegant in those days, from soup to nuts!

Hi. I really enjoyed your presentation. I am 66 years old from Texas. My mother had a lot of these pieces when I was younger. I can remember she would get a free piece inside a cylinder of Oatmeal. We were poor growing up and this was a BIG deal. She use to collect S&H stamps too and we would always lick the stamps and put them in a pamphlet type book. My mother was quite a woman. She was a widow at 25 years of age, with two little girls ages 2 & 3. She was a woman of faith and taught us how to stretch our money. I have bought a lot of the Anchor Hocking pieces myself because they are pretty and remind me of Momma. I would rather collect them for my enjoyment than Waterford Chrystal!!

I understand. After 35 years in industry, I got tired of the rat race and started teaching Industrial Operations at the local community college, formerly Vo-Tech. One day I was looking at the bulletin board and saw a non-credit night course being offered in "Adulting". Never heard of it. A guy in our maintenance dept, mid-20's, walked by and said he was thinking about signing up for it. I asked him about it. He explained it was to teach young people how to be an adult, such as making a budget, writing checks, take responsibility, how to pay bills, how do credit cards work, how do mortgages work, what to look for in buying a house, property taxes, income taxes, how to dress for success, etc. I thought I might offer my services in teaching basic cooking skills, such as the nuance difference between folding in, stirring, mixing, and whipping. How to make a pot roast. How to boil an egg. I realized then that many kids today are not being taught life skills at home like my mother did with me. And in teaching high school and just graduated students, I learned how they don't have the respect for things. If it breaks, just go buy a new one or 'it's not my problem" mentality. I was able to change some of that attitude and instill a greater respect for other people's items, plus their own, but it did not sink in to all of them, unfortunately.

And of course the one sister who hated my mother with every bone in her body got everything in the collection of silver and Crystal and she didn't want it she said and so at some point without asking any of the other four sisters she just through it all in the garbage because she got tired of making trips to the Goodwill. 🤯.

My Mom had a lot of those pieces. She used them along with her fine China set for special occasions and holidays. I remember well that punchbowl and cups set being brought out of a box kept in my bedroom closet on a high shelf for serving punch on very special occasions like weddings. We also used the dessert plates for the wedding cakes so many times over the years. She passed away in January... So, I am hoping that my younger sister has the set now to keep our family traditions going into the future.

I inherited a bunch of this stuff that I grew up with. Apparently, my mom started buying and hoarding the stuff in her elder years along with some not as pretty patterns, because there’s a lot more pieces than I remember. The only thing I wish I had is that larger candy dish you have there. Just like everyone’s grandma had with the stuck-together ribbon candy in it.

I started collecting this fifteen years ago. I had some crystal glass ware but could never find more pieces. I gave what I had to a friend and went and looked at the antique shops to see what I could get the most pieces of the same pattern. This is what I found. I now have a lot of pieces, platters,bowls, relish dishes. Salt and pepper and water pitchers. I simple love it and everything matches. Because they are clear glass I can use them with different patterned dishes. It’s getting hard to find it now but I still look. Would love to have candle sticks and the butter dish!

I have many of these pieces that my mother gave me before she passed away. The small plates were for serving cake, and other small desserts, but my parents would often put the cups for coffee on them. I have the large platter, vase, etc, etc. Oh, I believe there was also some banana split trays that my parents had that I have in storage. Beautiful collection! ❤ Thank you for bringing back fond memories of my childhood with my parents! 😊🤗

Very informative! I have collected this for years and never made the connection that smooth rims=lid. I have several of the small bowls that I use as cat dishes and always wondered why a couple have smooth rims. I started collecting it when my mother gave me her punch set. I think it was used more often as a salad bowl for Christmas and Thanksgiving than it was for it's original purpose.

The one that you say can be a pedestal, that has the little pieces on it to hold the plate in place...that cone shaped dish is also a small centerpiece flower vase!! There is a smooth round piece that sets into it that has holes in it. It hold the stems of the flowers, like a frog does. So you can have flowers inside a ring of cake or fruit or ring of jello... I have more than one and love them. ALSO, those small saucer like plates...they are individual nut and candy dishes for on the corners of your card table. My mom used hers whenever her Card Club Ladies came over. I also have a few sets of the snack plates with punch cups in the green, along with the chip and dip bowls in the green. They also made a larger ridges edges bowl for a salad bowl and smaller bowls for individual small salad bowls. We used them mostly for fruit salad or coleslaw. AND those gondola dishes ARE BANANA BOATS for Banana Splits!!!

Be considered a complete set, including 3 sizes of cake plates, a punch bowl with over 30 cups, salad bowls, serving dishes, saucers, dessert plates, small "ice cream" bowls, my Uncle and grandparents gathered most of them for my "hope chest" (which is the one thing I never got).

Now most everyone uses paper and plastic 😞 The other thing my sisters and I have noticed is that people are using wood chartreuse boards. We chuckle and comment that we used our glass trays and called them relishes trays 😂 Every generation has their things ❤ Thank you again for the lessons 😊 I didn’t realize I could intermingle them like you have shown 😃 I have big punch bowl that is different than yours. We do get it out and use it on occasion when we having a party or bridal shower 😊

I have a set of the Prescut salt and pepper shakers that I used in 1984 when I moved away from home. I think mom still has the butter dish. This glassware was part of the "colonial" trend of the late 1950s and 1960s in decor with maple furniture, roosters and such. Like Lucy's house in Connecticut. Those little plates could be butter pats, as they were called in dinnerware sets. Thanks for showing your collection.

My mom always used those small plates as butter plates and sometimes as butter and roll plates. It was considered good table manners to take a helping of butter as the dish was passed and put it on that plate. You could/would add your roll to it when that dish/basket came around. There would be a butter knife passed with the butter dish, which you would use to add the butter to your small dish. It would have been unseemly to use your own knife to take the butter.

You have a nice collection. I have almost all of those. I also have a toothpick holder, a ring keeper, a small trinket box, a set of iced tea glasses, and a set of on-the-rocks tumblers. And FYI...there actually were lids for those candy dishes with the scalloped edges. There were two kinds, one with a top handle and one without. And the edges of both kinds of lids had scalloped edges that nested into the bottom dish. My mother-in-law had both kind. I didn't like the one without the glass knob on top because it took two hands to lift it. However, that knobless top could be flipped over and used as a stand-alone dish.

Thank you for all the info and the memories. In the late 60's into the 70's I used to buy them. I worked at Kmart and twice a year they would have big Dollar Day sales. There would be boxes and boxes of this glassware. I liked them because they were pretty and strong. I have many of the pieces you have shown. Platters were used at all gatherings. Bridal/baby showers, family or work potlucks. Cant tell you how many taco dips went on those platters and how many sherbet ice cream and 7up punches went into my punch bowls. The smaller dishes used for condiments, dips and anything else that fit. I have mostly pieces in clear and a few in the honey gold. Sorry for the long post but pretty much many of the things you picked up is still in my home. Not used as much as it used to be but still used. So thank you for the memories and I hope some of my memories reminds others of their past. And I think I will dig out some of my pieces that are tucked away.

You just called it the pedestal base! Ok, I should have finished the video before commenting. I really want the punch bowl base. We used to use it separately. My mom wasn't going to put a huge punchbowl on the little base. I even still have the cups. My husband has been looking for the base but we didn't know the brand name. I lost most of my Mom's things in a flood years ago, but I still have that punch bowl. I might still have the divided plate.💖
