Story
Produced by the Anchor Hocking Glass Corporation in Lancaster, Ohio. The 'Bubble' pattern (often colloquially called 'Burple' or 'Berwick' by collectors) was manufactured primarily between the 1940s and 1960s. Forest Green was one of the most popular colors for this line, representing classic mid-century American post-war glassware. Vintage Anchor Hocking, particularly in popular colors like Forest Green and Royal Ruby, maintains a steady but modest collector base.

Condition & Value
The current estimate assumes typical vintage condition with light use. Value in mid-century glassware heavily depends on the absence of chips, 'flea bites' (tiny rim chips), and dishwasher dulling (cloudiness). The scalloped rims of the Bubble pattern are particularly prone to chipping.

Market Analysis
Vintage Anchor Hocking, particularly in popular colors like Forest Green and Royal Ruby, maintains a steady but modest collector base. The 'Bubble' pattern is common and easily recognizable, making it a staple in vintage kitchenware resale. Prices are generally stable, with complete sets or larger groupings moving faster than individual pieces, though shipping costs often eat into online resale margins.
Value Drivers
▲ Iconic mid-century pattern and highly desirable Forest Green color
▲ Set configuration (1 master bowl + 3 individual bowls) increases utility and buyer appeal over single pieces
▲ Strong established secondary market for Anchor Hocking replacement pieces
Concerns
▼ Unverified surface condition — dishwasher dulling or cloudiness would significantly reduce appeal
▼ Unverified rim condition — 'flea bites' or chips on the scalloped edges are common and would drop the set to the low end
▼ Missing a fourth small bowl — standard sets often feature 4 or 6 small bowls, so a 3-bowl set may be viewed as incomplete
Best Venue
List as a complete 4-piece set on platforms like Etsy or eBay where vintage kitchenware performs well. Ensure high-quality photos highlighting the glass's clarity and color against a light background. Price around $45-$50 for a steady sale, keeping shipping weight and protective packaging costs in mind.
Upside Potential
If the set is in absolute mint, unused condition with brilliant glass clarity, or if a fourth matching small bowl is added to complete a standard 5-piece serving set, it could reach the $65-$75 range seen on premium vintage retail sites.
