Lot #154: Anchor Hocking - "Smoky Green! Brown Optic Swirl" Vase

Anchor Hocking - "Smoky Green! Brown Optic Swirl" Vase • Anchor Hocking is an American based in Lancaster, Ohio since 1905. • The colour-shifting effect the Anchor Hocking vase-appearing brownish in some light and greenish in others -is due to the specific chemical composition of the "smoke" glass and a phenomenon called colour inconstancy. • The "optic swirl" and ribbed design create varying thicknesses throughout the vase. Iron impurities are more noticeable where the glass is thicker, such as the base and the decorative rings, which can deepen the perceived colour shift. • This specific optic swirl vase was a staple of 1970's home decor, with its production run between 1970 and 1979. • In excellent condition, no breaks, cracks, or chips.
