Notes

In 1938 the Anchor Hocking Glass Corporation started production of a new type of red glass named Royal Ruby, in which the deep red color was achieved by the addition of cuprous (copper) oxide to the molten glass rather than gold chloride. Eliminating gold from the process reduced the costs but the manufacturing process was still exacting, and Royal Ruby glassware was still generally not made in large quantities.

Manhattan pattern Depression glass made by Anchor Hocking. The Manhattan pattern is made up of concentric ribs. These ribs are pointed so that if you rub your fingernail across them, it will catch on each one and you can hear a little 'ting`.
