Jane Ray Jade Ite Jadeite Saucer Fire King Anchor Hocking

For consideration is this vintage pressed glass saucer made by Anchor Hocking in their Fire King line. The pattern is Jane Ray (a ½ inch border of lines around the rim) and the color is Jade Ite or Jadeite – an opaque green. This was made between 1945 and 1963 in the U.S.A.

The saucer measures 5 7/8 inches in diameter, it has the smooth back and the base is marked (see photos). It is in excellent vintage condition with no problems noted. Buyer will pay shipping on a 1 pound box. Thank you for looking!

NOTE:  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.

NOTE:  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. Fire-King was pressed glass dinnerware and kitchenware made from oven-proof glass, usually opaque. Two special colors in Fire-King have become very popular and easily recognized - the pale green "Jade-ite" and the iridized peach color with a mirror finish called "Peach Lustre".
