Vintage kitchenware Fire King casserole dish

Anchor Hocking Glass Corporation was created in 1937 from the merger of Hocking Glass with the Anchor Cap and Closure Corporation. A few years later in 1942, they introduced their hugely popular Fire-King glassware which continued in production until the late 1970s. Even as late as 1992 Anchor Hocking were making some Fire-KIng items, to celebrate the 50 year anniversary of its introduction.
Fire-King was pressed glass dinnerware and kitchenware made from oven-proof glass. Two special colors in Fire-King have become popular and easily recognized -the pale green "Jade-ite" and the iridized peach color with a mirror finish called "Peach lustre". 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 to choose from. Fire-King even carried a two year guarantee on the label.
