Anchor Hocking Moonstone Collection


I've been working on my latest set of dishes. I am fixed on the  Moonstone pattern from Anchor Hocking made between 1941 and 1945. So far I found my first plate at a garage sale for about ten cents. That was the first time I laid eyes on the pattern. I won this bid on ebay

I got 6 sherbert glasses at the Knights bridge antique mall in Northville
I am looking for the water goblets at my price
 I have three of the luncheon plates I got at the Eastern Market Antique Mall

 The plates are spectacular and tough to find at a reasonable price. Just found one on Etsy.
I need the teacups and saucers as well. 
When a few more of my new pieces arrive I will show a table setting.

  1. Looks like your collections is well on its way! i adore this pattern. Do you use your collection or just display? I'm curious if they are dishwasher safe or if they etch

  2. Thank you Shakti !! I just love this set. I am the sort of person who would buy an 18th century bed warmer and heat it up on the fireplace! I use this set for the occasional lunch with my mother, when I feel a bit bogged down with the drudgery of life and need a special lavish private breakfast, and for tea parties. I always wash it by hand as these pieces are from the 40's well before dishwasher safe was an option and I'd hate to find out the hard way that they will either break the first time in the wash or become brittle with repeated washings.
