Fire-King was pressed glass dinnerware and kitchenware made from oven-proof glass, usually opaque apart from a few items like the clear "crystal" line in ovenware which was included as Fire-King. Two special colors in Fire-King have become very popular and easily recognised - the pale green "Jade-ite" and the iridized peach color with a mirror finish called "Peach Lustre" which is illustrated on the left. All kinds of dinnerware patterns were produced in Fire-King, in plain colors or with transfer printed floral or natural or geometric designs. The shapes were very practical and there was a huge range of items to choose from. Fire-King even carried a two year guarantee on the label. |
