Rare Vintage 1950s Anchor Hocking Avocado Green Chip & Dip Set w Gold Bracket
This rare vintage Anchor Hocking avocado green chip and dip set is a beautifully preserved example of Mid-Century Modern glassware design. Crafted in pressed glass, both bowls feature scalloped rims and a radiant, star-like geometric base pattern that gives the set its distinctive look. The translucent avocado green tone catches light with soft reflections, adding visual depth and character to any table setting.
Designed for entertaining during the height of Anchor Hocking’s Mid-Century production era, this two-bowl configuration includes a compact main serving bowl paired with a smaller dip bowl, held securely in place by a removable gold-tone metal bracket. Its uncommon smaller size makes it especially appealing to collectors who appreciate variations within the Avocado Green line. Ideal for chips and dip, nuts, fruit, or as a decorative centerpiece, this set brings functional charm to gatherings while showcasing a beloved era of American glassmaking.
Why It’s Special
This set is a rare size variation within the Anchor Hocking Avocado Green series. Smaller than standard chip-and-dip configurations, it is harder to find and highly sought after by collectors who look for less common production sizes and forms.
