TWO ANCHOR HOCKING CLEAR GLASS MEASURING CUPS - 4 CUP / 1 QUART AND 1 CUP / 8 OZ, RED PRINTED SCALES A practical pair of clear glass measuring cups by Anchor Hocking, both with the familiar red printed measurement scales, applied glass handles, and pinched pour spouts, and both carrying the printed ANCHOR HOCKING name with the anchor-in-H logo on the side. The larger is the 4 cup, 1 quart size, marked in CUPS, OUNCES, QUART, and MILLILITRES up to 1 LITRE, with a wide open mouth and a heavy base. The smaller is the classic 1 cup, 8 ounce size, marked in 1 CUP, 3/4, 1/2, 1/4, 1 PINT references, ounces, and 250ml metric, with a molded base reading in raised letters something to the effect of FOR COOKING, USE OVEN and additional raised wording. Both are the tempered clear glass type intended for kitchen use rather than decorative pieces, and both are still fully usable. Together they cover the two sizes a cook reaches for most. Bidders should read the condition notes, since printed red scales on glass measuring cups fade with dishwasher use and that fading is difficult to judge from photographs. Sold as a lot of two measuring cups. Description Large measuring cup - Anchor Hocking clear glass, 4 cup / 1 quart capacity, straight-tapered body with a wide mouth, a pinched pour spout, and a thick applied loop handle. Red printed graduations on multiple columns reading 4 CUPS, 3 CUPS, 2 CUPS, 1 CUP with half and third marks, 32oz, 28oz, 24oz, 20oz, 16oz, 12oz, 8oz, a 1 Quart marking, third-cup fractions, and a metric column reading 1 LITRE, 900, 800, 700, 600, 500ml, 400, 300, 200, 100. The side carries the anchor-in-H logo above ANCHOR HOCKING in red block letters. Additional small red printed wording appears near the rim on the reverse. Stands approximately 5-1/2 to 6 inches tall and measures approximately 7 to 7-1/2 inches across including the handle and spout, per the tape-measure photographs, in which the tape is stood on the table beside the piece and laid across the top rather than fixed to it, so both figures are close estimates. Small measuring cup - Anchor Hocking clear glass, 1 cup / 8 ounce capacity, same general form with a pinched spout and applied loop handle. Red printed graduations reading 1 CUP, 3/4, 1/2, 1/4, a 1 PINT reference, 8oz and ounce marks, third-cup fractions, and a metric column reading 250ml, 200, 150, 100, 50. The side carries the anchor-in-H logo above ANCHOR HOCKING in red block letters. The underside is molded in raised glass lettering that reads in part FOR COOKING, USE OVEN and further raised wording around the base rim that is only partly legible in the photograph, so it is not transcribed in full here. Stands approximately 3 to 3-1/2 inches tall per the tape-measure photograph, in which the tape is stood on the table beside the piece rather than fixed to it, so the height is a close estimate. Both pieces are colorless clear glass with red printed decoration only, no color tinting, and no chips, cracks, or repairs
