History

• Berwick or Boopie glassware was produced by the Anchor Hocking Glass Corporation for almost three decades, from the 1950s to the 1970s. By that time, Anchor Hocking glassware was being produced by machines that could mold and press pieces at 90 or more items a minute.
  
  

Features

• Boopie stemware has a row of marble-like beads encircling the outer edge of the foot or base. Pairs of raised lines extend from the top of the foot to the bottom and end in a rounded design above each bead. The bowl is a slightly rounded taper shape.
  
  

Colors

• Boopie stemware was made in four colors: crystal (clear), amber, forest green and ruby red. The latter two were popular during the holiday season.
  
  

Function

• According to listings on eBay and other online auction sites, Anchor Hocking items made in the Boopie design included candle holders, juice glasses, champagne glasses, water goblets, sherbet dishes and wine glasses.
