ANCHOR HOCKING glass BUTTER DISH 1/4 pound Early American Pres Cut HTF PresCut

Description

Offered for sale is a lovely ANCHOR HOCKING covered BUTTER DISH made of clear glass. It is made to hold one standard 1/4 pound stick of butter or margarine.  The pattern is EARLY AMERICAN PRES CUT, which collectors often abbreviate to EAPC.  It is sometimes called by the descriptive name Star of David, although this name was never used by Anchor Hocking and some pieces (including the lid of this butter dish) don't even have a Star of David in the design.  Due to the pattern's affordability and widespread availability, Early American Pres Cut is probably the most popular pattern of American glass ever made.  Most forms in the pattern continued in production from 1960 until 1978, although some were made for only a year or two, and a few continued in production until 2000.  Most pieces are easy to find even today, although some are rather scarce, including this butter dish.  Like all Anchor Hocking glass, it was made in U.S.A.
The butter dish base measures 7 3/8 inches (18.7cm) long and 3 1/4 inches (8.3cm) wide.  The cover is 5 3/4 inches (14.6cm) long where it rests on the base, and the whole thing stands 2 inches (5.1cm) tall when assembled.  A U.S. quarter is shown in the pictures, to give an accurate impression of the size at a glance.
It is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, scratches or repairs. The glass is shiny and clear with no cloudiness or discoloration.
