nchor Hocking initially made Fire-King dishes from borosilicate glass in colored, clear, and opaque milk styles. Later versions were soda-lime glass. The brand is identifiable by its milk-glass appearance, colorful palette, and recurring prints. The most popular Fire-King pieces to collect are printed milk glasses—especially Colonial Stripes, Harlequin, polka-dots, and Sealtest Tulip bowls—and Jade-ite C-handle mugs, Kimberly mugs, and nesting bowls.
Fire-King pieces included bowls (serving/breakfast/soup/chili/dessert/cottage cheese), Swedish teardrop nesting bowls, salt-and-pepper shakers, casserole dishes, plates, serving platters, creamers, vases, carafes, refrigerator dishes, mugs, grease jars, butter dishes, coffee percolators, teapots, custard/egg cups, loaf pans, measuring cups, ashtrays, condiment sets, and Restaurant Ware.
Glass colors were milk-white, ivory-white, ivory, turquoise, burgundy, Rose-ite, light blue Azur-ite, and Jade-ite (opaque green). Fired-on colors include Lustre (peach is most popular), Royal Ruby, pink, yellow, orange, blue, green, and many others.
