Anchor Hocking Fire-King Manhattan Pattern Clear Glass Mixing Bowl

This is a vintage mixing bowl crafted in the iconic 'Manhattan' pattern, also known as 'Horizontal Ribbed,' produced by the Anchor Hocking Glass Corporation. The bowl is made of clear, transparent glass and features a distinctive Art Deco aesthetic characterized by concentric horizontal ridges on the lower half and intersecting vertical ribbing on the upper portion. It possesses a flared, smooth rim and sits on a small, recessed circular foot. Based on the design, this piece likely dates from the 1930s to the 1940s (Depression era). The construction is pressed glass, typical for mass-market utilitarian kitchenware of that period. Physically, the item appears to be roughly 8 to 9 inches in diameter. The glass retains good clarity, though there is visible surface wear including fine scratches consistent with age and domestic use. There are no large chips or structural cracks visible from this angle, though the rim shows slight dullness that may indicate minor scuffing. Quality indicators include the precise geometric symmetry of the molded ribs, which was a hallmark of the Fire-King line's machine-pressed production. This particular pattern is highly collectible among Depression glass enthusiasts for its architectural, 'Machine Age' design style.
