This is the classic Anchor Hocking Early American Prescut (EAPC) covered candy dish, complete with its original matching lid. Known to collectors and resellers as the iconic "Star of David" pattern, this piece was first introduced by Anchor Hocking in 1960 and manufactured through the 1970s. It was designed to capture the heavy, light-refracting weight of turn-of-the-century American Brilliant cut glass at an accessible price point.
The jar features bold, deeply pressed starburst facets around the bowl, capped by a fitted lid with a thick faceted finial knob. Whether you are using it on a coffee table for wrapped sweets, completing a missing lid/jar set, or displaying it under direct lighting, it refracts light brilliantly from every angle.

Logistical Respect (Packing & Delivery) Fragile vintage glassware should never be thrown into an oversized box with a single air pillow and a prayer. I treat packing as an art form and pack every item with absolute Logistical Respect so it arrives at your door in the exact same condition it left mine.
