The Hocking Glass Company began in 1905 in Lancaster, Ohio, and its glassware was ubiquitous during the Depression era. Hocking started in hand blown glass and expanded into machine made glass in the 1920's. Bottles, tableware, lamp chimneys, and decorative glass ware were produced by Hocking. Hocking probably produced more designs than any other glass company of its time, making it possible for collectors of Depression glass to easily locate pieces at antique shops and flea markets. Hocking produced pressed glass, acid-etched patterns, and mold-etched patterns. By 1937, Hocking merged with several other companies to form the Anchor Hocking Corporation.
