Based on Anchor Hocking’s Fire King and More, Second Edition, I move through the world thinking that I know the Wexford pieces that I comes across in it. I rather enjoy the moments when I’m wrong.
This morning, I stopped at a thrift store on my grocery run, and I found something I had not seen before…
Or course, I recognized the Wexford candy dish, missing the lid, but that color… Nothing I have read or searched online or found in thrift stores for over a decade suggested to me that I should expect to find this.
Ever.
I’ll call it “moss mist” I have no documentation whatsoever on gradient flash color. I didn’t know of its existence until I found those “amber mist” wine goblets last summer, seen below. I didn’t mind the missing lid, I have numerous candy dishes at home (although I do not know if the lid would be gilded and colored) but there was a chip on the rim so I left it behind…
There is a site that offers various Anchor Hocking pattern catalogs on CD. I might have to move ahead and get one to see exactly how much Wexford I don’t yet even know about…
