Anchor Hocking Reviews

One of my favorite gifts I have gotten! These are exquisite and top quality glasses! I remember my Great Grandma had these in the Fire King/Anchor "Coronation" that is what attracted me to them. They are so beautiful and would work for any function. I plan on having them for a long time since they are such good quality. You cannot go wrong with this reproduction!!! Especially if you are into Cottage or Shabby Chic home decor. Go for it you wont be dissapointed!

I bought these for [$$$]; so i can't complain about the price. they look and feel great. everyone in my family was shocked when i told them the price. They are thick and feel strong, not cheap. they have USA printed at the bottom, i don't know if that means they were made in the us but i like the fact that they don't say "made in China" :). i'm VERY satisfied.

We have had these for a couple years now and the only ones that have broken are ones that have fallen on the floor. These have held up well through dishwashing. They are thick and heavier weight glasses--not like the cheap ones that break easily. Great quality and a great price.

This Stainless Steel & Glass Diner Cake Set is gorgeous! If your thinking of getting it for yourself or a gift, dont hesitate, you will not be disappointed! The glass dome is heavy which is great, not flimsy thin glass at all. Looks great sitting on our buffet.

Wonderful product - heavy weight and well made. This has been a delightful and useful addition to my 50's style, diner kitchen.

How can a product achieve pefection? Anchor-Hocking must know the secret because their Stainless Steel Diner-Style cake plate set is unsurpassed in terms of quality, design and function. This product will not disappoint the customer who seeks retro styling nor those seeking ultra-modern design. Once it arrived I assembled it (EASY) and this is one of the very few items which looks even more attractive on your table than in its' picture at the site! I am a perfectionist and yet even after taking the Diner Cake Set out of packaging the Stainless Steel did not require washing or wiping, unbelievable quality. It's flawless. How often can you find a retro-style product that has retro-style QUALITY? This product delivers on all counts. I know "it's ONLY a cake plate" but...you know, it's not: it's more than a cake plate. It's art and craftmanship, design and function -- at a great price, too!

I looked everywhere for a nice, simple design. I must have browsed hundreds of different styles. Anchor Hocking's Bolera set is just right - simple, but not obviously. Apparently the glass is also pretty durable. I'm constantly dropping them (not on purpose) and not one has broken.

There's also the name to be taken into consideration. 'Anchor Hocking' - it sounds . . . adventurous.

These are very attractive looking glasses that feel very nice. They are well made and not flimsy, yet they are not heavy to hold. They make whatever you are drinking seem to be more of a treat.

I've had these juice glasses for a few years now and they're perfect. Just the right size for juice and they're a nice heavy weight (a big plus against breakage.) Simple clean design goes with everything.Very pleased with purchase.

The set of cobalt glasses is great. I've gotten so many compliments on them at partys, but they also are good for everyday use. I love blue, and each time I drink out of one these glasses it makes my day; that and all the compliments from everyone on them. These glasses were a great investment.

Heavy Bottomed, thick glass, Holds up well in the dishwasher and doesn't chip easily.
This set is perfect for for gifts and your own kitchen, they look and feel like theyre worth more than they cost, that's for sure!

beautiful glasses, great bargin for the price

I love these Anchor Hocking glasses. My parents have had a set of this pattern for years. When I moved into my own place in college and was tired of the free plastic cups I had I went to the store and found these glasses. I have 8 big glasses in a blue color, but I'm wanting matching in a smaller glass and can't seem to find the same color. Anyway, I really like that the squares help you hold the glass easier. Also, these glasses are very stable, don't tip easily. Plus, they are bottom heavy but not too bottom heavy, that way they don't slip out of your hands as easily. I have broken many other glasses cause they were too bottom heavy, but I have never broken one of these.

I just got this yesterday. I have crystal glassware, and the easy way for me to see if something is crystal or not is by simply tapping the glass.

Well, when I tapped them, it sure didn't sound like crystal, rather it sounded exactly like glass. And I can't find the word "crystal" on the box anywhere. I was rather disappointed, but then again, what do you expect...

NO, they're not really crystal, so don't let the description fool you. However, these are nice, hefty glasses that have room for a whole can of soda and lots of ice. We actually bought ours by the piece at a local kitchenwares store, which also carried our pale blue glasses and a glass-green version in addition to the clear ones. The inscribed grid lines give you a bit more grip (at least, it does for my smaller hands). The thing I like the most about these glasses is that the glass is a uniform thickness from top to the base (unlike most everyday glass sets that have a substantial lip on them but the rest of the glass is thin) and the bottom has a nice, solid chunk of glass at least 3/4" thick. They're also perfectly cylindrical all the way down, which makes for stable glasses that can't be tipped over as easily as some glasses can. They can take a substantial "thump" onto a table as well. We've only lost two of our original twelve in the past three years, both victims to impatient people wanting to fill a hot, just-from-the-dishwasher glass with a cold beverage. My advice is: if you're looking for a glass set that will last and won't make you feel you have to handle it like it's your grandmother's fine crystal, then invest in these!

I fell in love with these mugs as soon as I saw them, but it was short lived. I got 6 of them and 1 was broken when I received the box, and since I got them a short time ago 3 of them have cracked. they look really thick and durable, but they don't last long. I am very disappointed.

These mugs are great! Generous size, clean-up nicely - no tea or coffee stains to deal with! Love the cobalt blue color. Can't beat the price! GREAT DEAL!!

I love these mugs. Tres stylish, and very fun to hold. They are big enough for a decent sized drink (16 oz.) and the color is tres cool. If you order a cake stand (Anchor Hocking Presence Cake Dome Set) you get 6 mugs free. A very decent deal.

The set looks very nice and elegant. I have no problems with the glasses, it's the shaker that bugs me. There's a bit of leak when you try and shake it. But worse, when the glass gets wet it gets really slippery, so you have to take extra care, not to let it slip out of your hands.

I'm probably going to buy another shaker and just put mine away for looks or something.

I got a similar set (3-pc with shaker and 2 glasses). I agree with the other reviews about the shaker, it leaks a little bit. I suggest getting another shaker, but keeping this one around as a back-up OR wrapping a small towel around the leaky seam. I like the texture of the shaker and glasses. It's classy and not so overdone that it's tacky.

Compared to all the other martini sets I've seen for around $20, nothing even comes to close to the quality or the amount of items you get. For 4 glasses and a good shaker, $20 is definitely worth it. I have not had the leaking problems or opening problems that some of the other reviewers had. Maybe they don't close the cap tight enough? I also hadn't had any problems with breakage. I've had this set for about a year now and it's been great! I also think size of glasses is perfect and our martinis come out perfect.
