Anchor Hocking Moonstone pattern Depression glass is a very popular collectible. The prices are generally affordable, and it is common enough that it can be found in thrift stores, garage sales, as well as in many antique shops.

Anchor Hocking manufactured the distinctive Moonstone pattern from 1941 through 1946. This pattern is easily identified by the clear hobnails and the milky, or opalescent, edge. It was produced in the first five years of the newly consolidated Anchor Hocking Company, which had begun to manufacture glass for the home in 1937. The opacity, or milkiness, comes from adding ash or tin oxide during the firing process.
