Anchor Hocking[edit]
is a glassware and dinnerware manufacturer located in Lancaster , Ohio . It was established in 1905 by I.J. Collins and E.B. Good, in Lancaster, Ohio as the Hocking Glass company. At the time they primarily manufactured glass oil lamp chimneys.[1] A merger joined the Anchor Cap Corporation and The Hocking Glass Company.[1] During the 1940s their highly collectible Jade-ite was manufactured under the Fire king label and proved popular enough to be reissued by the company around the year 2000. In 1973 Anchor Hocking acquired the Taylor, Smith & Taylor Company, a well known pottery in Chester, West Virginia.[1] In that period they produced dinnerware including a still popular Twelve Days of Christmas pattern.[2]
Currently Anchor Hocking remains an Ohio based manufacturer of glass products including glassware, serving pieces, ovenware, storage and other glass products. Anchor Hocking is the second largest supplier of glassware in the United States. Its glassware products are sold in retail shops and used as restaurantware in the hospitality industry.
