My Favorite Green





Original "Fire King" Jade-Ware Bowls !



I don't know when my mother got these bowls,

or if she originally had the whole set...

(including 2-3 larger and one smaller bowl

that I have seen in antique stores.)

All I know is that these bowls were around

for my entire childhood memory!

I was blessed enough to inherit them,

and I use them all the time.



My best friend found the new "Fire King" Jade-Ware

that Anchor Hocking started making in 2000,

and she graciously bought me

EVERY piece that she could find!

It's hard to see, but my Kitchen walls

are a very close match to this green.

Everything tastes better served out of these bowls.

  2. I remember my aunt having a bunch of those bowls. I remember cobbler and waldorf salad being served in those at her home, lol.

    It is a beautiful color.

  4. I think my grandma had some like that!
    She also had 5 copper jello molds hanging on her kitchen wall for as long as I can remember.
    They're now hanging on my kitchen wall.
    My cousin has the candy dish that always sat on top of our grandparents refrigerator. It's sitting on top of her fridge now.
    None of these items are valuable antiques, but they are rich with memories.

  8. Ok, would you believe I painted my walls fire-king green? I thought I was the only one who loved this color so much!

    I don't have any of the older pieces, just the newer ones. Love the shape of yours!
