There’s something about this deep, glowing red glass that just feels timeless. This open sugar bowl was made by Anchor Hocking in their much-loved Royal Ruby line, first introduced back in 1938. It’s the kind of piece that would have sat on the table during Sunday dinners, filled with sugar for coffee or tea, catching the light in a way only ruby glass can. The glass is smooth, the color rich, and the handles are sturdy with no chips or cracks (a small miracle, as those handles are usually the first to go). The starburst pressed into the base is a classic detail that makes this pattern easy to love. Whether you use it as intended for sugar, or reimagine it for wrapped candies, a small floral arrangement, or simply as a display piece, it’s a slice of vintage American glass history.
This is Anchor Hocking’s Royal Ruby glass, a line first introduced in 1938 and loved for its rich, glowing red.
