Topic: Red pressed glass bowls. ID = Anchor Hocking

[misha]

I've 2 red bowls here and like an idea who made and manufacture date range, please.
They are not red flashed.

Large bowl dimensions are:
200mm Dia. x 80mm H.

Small bowl dimensions:
115mm Dia. x 45mm H.

In the internal base of the small one has a moulded mark.  Could be a anchor?
Nothing on large one.

Thanks in advance for ID reply. I suspect an easy one to solve.

Hi, Could they be ANCHOR HOCKING ?

See HERE*

Thats them - ANCHOR HOCKING - ROYAL RUBY

No trademark in large bowl like that one, only the small and different orientation.
I suppose there was another in between size too
Didn't pay much for them from a charity store here weeks ago.
It was the very nice deep red colour sucked me into buying stuff I don't really collect... so it goes.   

Might be able to cut the middle out of the big one and a smaller hole in the little one to make a lamp shade.... one day.... maybe.

There probably wasn't another size in between. There would have been five more small bowls to make a dessert set

OK, now that gives a better understanding of what they were made for.
Thanks Christine. 

These were found on two separate occasions at different shops, so no long term relationship between them till now. 

Pity no intermediate... I was just sizing up some brass galleries I have here to see if it was viable.
