When I search the net for the histories of Anchor Hocking glassware lines, Wexford is typically an omission, footnote, or afterthought. Seeing that I nearly always find at least one piece of the line in any thrift store I visit, I somehow always expect to uncover some sort of recorded history.
The individual behind the Anchor Hocking Museum has written numerous books. I bought a copy of “Fire King”, but Wexford has exactly five pages.
The series is massive and prolific. Looking at the design elements that make the glass Wexford, I long for studies that speak to the proportion and balance and bulk and the fanciness of details in what was made to serve as everyday glassware of the middle class masses.
My husband and I hosted a New Year’s Day open house. I discovered that we could set the entire event with Wexford, with enough left over to display a full hutch.
It is a good feeling.
wexford: a study 
Hi,
I love your blog and just spent a few hours reading every one of your posts. I learned a couple things (didn’t know the salad bowl came in sapphire blue or the hexagon tray in blush), and confirmed the candy bowl, likely the whole dish, was made in green ombré. I suspected, but didn’t have proof until I saw it on your blog. There are actually two other ombré colors with gold bands and all three ombré colors were applied to two different pieces. The pieces seem to be quite rare. My name is Tina Spain McDuffie, author of “Early American Prescut Glass: A comprehensive guide to collecting Anchor Hocking’s iconic star pattern” and the eapcglass dot com website. I’m also an admin of the Wexford Collectors Facebook Group and the Early American Prescut Collectors Facebook Group. I’d love to chat with you regarding Wexford glassware and a Wexford project I’m currently working on. You can reach me via Messenger on FB or either of the groups I mentioned. I hope to hear from you.
