Vintage Fireking: Glasbake Custard Cup

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.

Austin Enterprises Chess Set

I’ve always been looking for a mid-century modern style chess set for either playing or displaying. I can see this minimal designed set sitting on my coffee table. I’m not a pro at chess by any means but I do enjoy playing. This modernist styled extruded aluminum chess set was designed by Austin E Cox for Austin Enterprises and manufactured by the Alcoa Aluminum Company.

Vintage Terrarium

We continue today with another planter post. This is a vintage space age looking terrarium that could be either planter or a display of small collectibles. As you can see in my previous post, along with planters I also love to collect globes. This item is the prefect hybrid of a planter and a globe if I ever run out of room.

The reproductions are available here!
