About the Glass This piece belongs to Anchor Hocking’s beloved Sandwich pattern in Forest Green, introduced around 1957. The design honors the historic “Sandwich glass” tradition, named after the Boston & Sandwich Glass Company in Sandwich, Massachusetts. Founded in 1825 by entrepreneur Deming Jarves, it pioneered affordable, high-quality pressed glass in America. Innovative molds and mechanical presses allowed molten glass to capture elaborate floral and scroll details impossible to achieve economically through hand-cutting or blowing. Though the company closed in 1888, its influence inspired 20th-century revivals like Anchor Hocking’s version. These pieces remain prized by collectors for their timeless elegance and link to early American craftsmanship. Anchor Hocking’s Forest Green offers a deep, rich emerald shade distinct from earlier uranium greens.
