Anchor Hocking Wexford Pitcher

The item depicted is a vintage Wexford pattern glass pitcher, a signature line produced by the Anchor Hocking Company. Introduced in the 1960s, the Wexford pattern is characterized by its intricate diamond-point texture and vertical ribs, making it a staple of mid-century American glassware. This specific spherical or 'tilt' style pitcher was popular for serving water, iced tea, and juices in households across North America.

Anchor Hocking has deep roots in the United States, originally established in Lancaster, Ohio. While the company went through various ownership changes during the late 20th and early 21st centuries, the Wexford line remains one of its most recognizable legacy products. Production of this specific pattern was primarily handled in U.S.-based manufacturing facilities, ensuring high-quality pressed glass standards for the consumer market.

Today, the brand is owned by Anchor Hocking LLC, which operates under the larger umbrella of the Oneida Group (now often referred to as Anchor Hocking Group). The company continues to maintain its headquarters in the United States, focusing on durable glassware for both residential and commercial use. This piece is a classic example of American industrial design and glassware heritage.
