Fire King Jadeite Collections

I’ve been collecting these beautiful Jadeite colored pieces for years. They are the most well-known and collected glass ware from Fire King that is a line from the Anchor Hocking Glass Company. They produced the pressed oven glass from the early 1940′s through the 1970′s. The picture above are lotus leaf bowl plates.

I use the Eames two tier shelf to display them, but because I have lots of Pyrex dishware as well, there aren’t any room left to get the other Fire Kings that I haven’t collected yet.

Jadeite table wares were often used at restaurants in the 1940′s to the 1960′s because of its durable materials . I’ve been using their restaurant mugs almost everyday. The Chili bowls are great for eating cereal, Jane Ray’s tea cup and saucers are a good accent on the table, and the Charm’s berry bowls are perfect for ice cream!
