Anchor Hocking Fire King Relish Tray

Had a little Value Village run last night after work.  Picked up this piece.  It’s in pristine shape.  My daughter is yacking about collecting white dishes so I thought she might like this.  Most of us have seen Fire King of some sort.

From Wikipedia:

“Fire-King was originally produced in the 1940s for everyday use, rather than display. It was often sold in bags of flour as a promotional item or was given away at gas stations. Fire-King could also be purchased at local grocery and hardware stores. Several varieties of Fire King dishes were made; nesting bowls, dessert bowls, glass beverage containers, casserole dishes, mugs and more.”

Fire King pieces came in a large variety of colours – the familar jadeite green, turquoise, pink, clear, white, etc. and came adorned and plain.

The site Sparkle Plenty Glassware provides a chart with dates for various markings.  This is what is on the bottom of this piece:

Grapes, Harvest, Leaves, Vase

We went out to the Courtice Flea Market today.  Turns out that the Farmers’ market only runs on Sunday.  But  I bought this vase (for fifty cents) and four cups and saucers for $6.00.  Gotta love that.

I ran a quick search on this vase.  Most of the hits report it as an Anchor Hocking piece.  I saw one that attributed it to Imperial Glass.   I am tending to believe that it was produced by A-H.

One ebay listing called it a celery vase.  I guess celery could stand in it.  I’m thinking I will likely use it for flowers – likely yellow.

Anchor Hocking Amber Boopies (Berwick)

I have clear and the red Boopies (not yet owned the green).  I came across these puppies – two juices and one liquor cocktail – recently.  I hadn’t seen the amber and thought they were very pretty.  Don’t know if I will try to buy any others – I don’t think they are that common.  If someone needed these to finish off a set – off with their heads!  Or….out they would go.
