Lot #38: Fire King Peach Lustre Casseroles & Lid

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, usually opaque apart from a few items like the clear "crystal" line in ovenware which was included as Fire-King. Two special colors in Fire-King have become very popular and easily recognised - the pale green "Jade-ite" and the iridized peach color with a mirror finish called "Peach Lustre" Here are two fantastic oval casseroles in great condition Very minor flea bites only in a couple spots There is one lid, non fire king but it fits. It has one small chip on the inside edge that can be filed and a small rough spot in the same area Beautiful pieces to add to your collection or great pieces to start one
