Fire-King Jadeite Mixing Bowls

This item consists of two nested Fire-King Jadeite glass mixing bowls, manufactured by Anchor Hocking. These bowls are made from 'Jade-ite', a distinctive semi-opaque milky green alkaline-lime glass that became an American kitchen staple during the mid-20th century. The smaller bowl is nested within a larger one, both featuring a smooth, rolled rim and a deep circular basin profile characteristic of the period's functional kitchenware. The color is a consistent, soft seafoam green with a subtle high-gloss finish that displays the characteristic translucency of milk glass when held to light. Based on the stylistic cues and material, these pieces likely date from the late 1940s to the 1950s. The surface shows a bright luster indicative of well-preserved glass finish, though minor utensil marks may be present inside the basins from historical use. There are no visible chips, cracks, or significant fleabites in the top-down view. White paper price stickers are affixed to the interior walls, indicating they are currently in a resale or antique retail environment. This specific shade and brand are highly collectible due to their durability and iconic mid-century aesthetic. Proper identification would typically be confirmed by the stamped 'Fire-King' heat-proof logo on the bottom of each bowl.
