This is another part of my vintage fireking collection. They are a set of 4 glass bake milk-white custard cups. Each cup has a little orange and navy candle glow pattern that gives a nice accent on the white glass. I mostly use them for serving dessert, especially flan, my favorite.

The picture above is called ‘Blue Heaven’. These were originally produced by Royal China during the 50′s to 60′s. Although they are not fireking, they will be a good compliment to my collection.

I’ve been collecting these vintage Pyrex kitchen glasswares for daily use. They are very durable and the retro design harmonizes with the modern furniture at my place. These first items are the Cinderella mixing bowls. They carry a unique pattern called the “butterprint” with imagery of farmers and other cute icons.

According to my The Unauthorized Collector’s Guide, they were introduced in 1958 and are easily recognizable by the two pour spout handles of different sizes. They were also produced with many other colorful designs such as pink or yellow. I mainly use them to serve salad depending on the size of the party. If you are interested in it, no worries! you can easily find them at either a flea market or on ebay.

Finnish designer Ulla Procope designed this tea pot called GA3 during the 50′s to 60′s. This is probably her best-known dishware among her art pieces. It is made of either white, brown, or black glazed porcelain with a wicker handle.

The look seems very Asian inspired and is reminiscent of Chinese or Japanese porcelain.

She also designed a lot of stoneware that were produced by Arabia around the same time. I personally love the dark rich black kitchenwares.

My recent ebay score is this olive-colored fondue pot by Cathrineholm. It is part of the lotus family which I posted earlier. The pot unfortunately came without the bottom plate, but I was lucky to find someone who was selling just the plate itself.

Surprisingly it is still in great condition even though it has been used for almost 30-40 years. I am tempted to use it but another side of me is telling me that I should try to keep it in good condition.
