The story
Anchor Hocking traces back to 1905, when Isaac Collins lit the first furnace at a glass plant in Lancaster, Ohio, named for the nearby Hocking River. The idea was plain: make durable, affordable glassware ordinary households needed. The company merged with the Anchor Cap and Closure Corporation in 1937 to become Anchor Hocking, and went on to make some of the most collected American glass ever — Depression glass and the mid-century Fire-King line.
More than a century on, the company still melts, pours, tempers and finishes its glass at that same Ohio location, with a workforce of union glassmakers whose families have often worked there for generations. The core catalog — bakeware, drinkware, measuring cups and glass food storage — is American-made; a handful of accessory pieces, such as some plastic lids and certain stoneware mugs, are imported.
The original Lancaster plant, lit in 1905, has never stopped running.
Why they matter
Glassware is dominated by imports, so a century-old American glass plant is worth supporting.
Buying Anchor Hocking’s US-made glass backs generations of union glassmaking jobs in Ohio.
