The advertising demitasse (small) cup for the~ Northwestern Bottle Company of St. Louis, Missouri ~is a rare and highly collectible piece of vintage Fire-King Jadeite glassware.
Key Features
Manufacturer: The cup was made by Anchor Hocking under their Fire-King brand, which was popular from the 1940s to the 1970s.
Material/Color: It is made of a unsignature milky green opaque glass known as "Jadeite" or "Jade-ite".
Advertising: The mug features a specific advertisement for the "Northwestern Bottle Company St. Louis 7, MO".
Style: It can be found in different styles, including the common "D-handle" mug shape or the even more rare "C-handle" heavy restaurant ware style, and some versions are demitasse (small) cups, often with a matching saucer.
Collectibility
The combination of the popular Fire-King Jadeite material and the specific, hard-to-find advertising for the Northwestern Bottle Company makes these items particularly desirable for collectors. They are considered scarce due to the limited production run for this specific advertisement.
This one does have a printed flaw as shown, as well as some cosmetic scratches.
