All Orders Are Shipped Worldwide Daily From Cedar Rapids, Iowa

 

The dish is an Anchor Hocking Fire-King "Oven Ware" three-part dish. It is made of white milk glass and features a scalloped, almost clover-like shape. The rim and two small side handles are adorned with a 22k gold beaded or bubble-like trim. The dish is divided into three separate sections for serving.

 

Maker and Markings:

The bottom of the dish is embossed with the following markings:

 

"OVEN"

 

"Fire-King" (in script font)

 

"WARE"

 

"15"

 

"MADE IN U.S.A."

 

The "Fire-King" brand was created by the Anchor Hocking Glass Corporation in the 1940s. The "OVEN" and "WARE" markings indicate that this item was designed to be oven-safe. The number "15" is likely a mold number or a pattern identification number.

 

Pattern Name:

This specific pattern with the beaded gold trim is known by collectors as "Oven Ready" or "Anniversary Gold." The term "Anniversary Gold" is often used for the line that features this specific type of 22k gold decoration on milk glass items.

 

Dating:

Anchor Hocking produced many of its Fire-King milk glass patterns, including those with gold trim, primarily during the 1950s and 1960s.

 

Measurements and Weight:

 

Length: 11 inches

 

Width: 7 1/2 inches

 

Height: 1 1/2 inches

Condition:

The dish may have been used but it shows no signs of wear, which is excellent. Items with 22k gold trim are susceptible to wear, especially if put in a dishwasher. The fact that the trim is intact and the dish is in excellent condition suggests it was likely well-cared for or saw minimal use.

 

Value:

While value can fluctuate based on condition and market demand, this is a classic and sought-after piece for collectors of vintage Fire-King and milk glass. The "Anniversary Gold" line is particularly popular.

 

In summary, this is a beautiful and well-preserved piece of mid-century American kitchenware, a great example of the popular Fire-King milk glass from the 1950s.
