Bowl from Columbia

8 1/4" berry bowl, "Bubble" pattern, by Anchor Hocking circa 1940-1965. This color is called "sapphire blue", and is the original color produced in this pattern

I saw this bowl in an antique store while I was in Columbia the other week, and asked Mom if she would go back and get it for me. I just liked it. This is collectable glassware of the 40's, 50's, and 60's, which is not really my thing, but I thought it was pretty. Bubble glass can still be picked up pretty cheaply since it was made for so long. Just kind of a whim. It's in really good shape. Mom brought it up to me this weekend. This bowl was $15.00. which is full retail on it, but oh well. I had thought it was priced at $10, but remembered wrong.
