Anchor Hocking ‘Pressed Bark’ condiment set
made in USA, 1966
A retro condiment set comprising: lidded butter dish, creamer, lidded sugar bowl and salt & pepper shakers. All in the ‘Pressed Bark’ design – and avocado green – so 60s! – by Anchor Hocking.
The ’Pressed Bark’ pattern is a reference to the striations of the trunk of the Birch tree [speaking now as a botanist] – which is why it so appeals to me. As does the 60s abstraction of this pattern in the glass- and the tactile result. And the fabulous 60s avocado green colour.
This set has never been used- it’s in pristine condition- and ready for use in your dining situation. Or – if you’re a collector – to team with the graduated salad bowls that form part of the Pressed Bark collection.
The set is for sale: $AUD110
