Hocking Glass Company 'Miss America' Pattern Pitcher, c. 1935-1938

Story

In 1935, as the United States struggled through the Great Depression, the Hocking Glass Company launched this pattern to inspire a sense of national pride and optimism.

Maker / Origin

The Hocking Glass Company was founded in 1905 and became a pioneer in the mass production of colorful, patterned glassware.

Condition & Value

The glass appears remarkably clear with no signs of 'clouding' or 'glass sickness' from harsh detergents. The diamond points look sharp in the photos, though any small nicks on these points would slightly reduce the value. Excellent preservation of the scalloped base. Condition is consistent with a well-cared-for cabinet piece.
