    Good afternoon everyone. Sun is out again today but more rain predicted later this arvo.
    Some regions down here are reported to have the worst floods in 160 years

    Alicia @4931nextdoor I am not sure of the most recent info on your platter but this is what I can tell you from me having had some of these in the past.
    This pattern was manufured by Anchor Hocking, beginning in 1960 and details are sketchy as to the history of this
    particular piece.
    Debbie/ Luvtewshop originally purchased one of mine on eBay in 2001 Back then it was a hot topic of discussion at the time on Glass Chat Board because just the week before, a similar piece was purchased by glass book author Gene Florence from another Australian seller.(That seller was Clemo) TAGF was also bidding on this piece, but Debbie outbid him
    No one seems to know too much about these pieces, other then that back then they had only been found in Australia ( well now you have one )and were apparently sold at Australian Cole’s Stores back in the 1960s.
    The pieces found back then seemed to be limited to Platters and Relish Plates in this particular color and speculation is that it was either an experimental order or possibly a special order. Back then there was no documentation these pieces in this fabulous color! Clemo was told that TAGF was going to feauter the one he bought in his next book. But that didn't happen. I am not sure if he ever did do a book with the Pink EAPC platter or Relish in it. When we sold ours they brought a good price. I can't remember the exact figure but it was in the hundreds of $$$ (maybe $300??)
    There was some suggestions that maybe it was an experimental order.
