Know before you buy
This set consists of two cups and two matching saucers, making it a complete service for two people.
This set features the classic Royal Ruby pattern by Anchor Hocking, which is highly sought after for its authentic depression glass aesthetic. It is crafted from durable glass that captures the rich, deep red tone characteristic of the original mid-century era.
While the glass is durable, we recommend hand washing these pieces to preserve the integrity of the deep red finish and prevent potential clouding or chipping over time.
The Royal Ruby color is inherent to the glass material, meaning the deep red hue is consistent throughout the pieces and will not peel or flake off with regular use.
Yes, these cups are designed for serving hot beverages. However, as with most vintage-style glassware, it is best to avoid extreme, rapid temperature changes to prevent thermal shock.
