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.

Vintage Thingie Thursday!

Crystal Arcade

wall mounted coffee grinder

This coffee grinder may not be my

absolute favorite

vintage thingie,

but it is the most USED vintage item in my house!

I use this grinder nearly every day.

I keep 8 o'clock decaf coffee beans in it.

I have it mounted to my kitchen wall

and very few people can resist giving it a "spin"...

especially small children!

It has "Crystal" on the pressed glass bean canister

and "Arcade" on the cast iron grinder section.

If you adjust the tightness of the wingnut

on the grinder handle, you can

control the size of the ground coffee.

There was no container for catching the

ground coffee when I got it,

so I bought this cute little jar at a

local craft store and it fits perfectly!

I know nothing about this wonderful item,

except that it belonged to a friend's Grandfather.

She passed it on to me

when she downsized several years ago.

Her children weren't interested.

I LOVE IT!

This is my first Vintage Thingie post...

I hope you enjoyed the visit!
