Title: Can anyone identify mark on base of this Ruby Glass Vase? - ID= Anchor Hocking
Post by: Fen on February 20, 2009, 11:17:48 AM

The subject line says it all, really, I have had this on the edge of my bath for years and years and only today when I washed it I realised that it had a mark on its base. The vase is Ruby red, I think, and four inches high. Many thanks for any contributions to increasing my knowledge.

looks like an anchor (upside down) and the letter H,
so Anchor Hocking perhaps?
see this topic for comparison (using the search option will find you some further)

Definitely Anchor Hocking, and possibly in their colour Royal Ruby. Google to find the Anchor Hocking company website and follow the links - somewhere there is a page listing the dates various marks were used.

Thank you, I can see now that it is an Anchor, no wonder I didn't get far trawling Google for glass marked with a Pagoda!!
