History & Rarity

Produced in the USA during the mid-20th century, Fire-King (a brand under Anchor Hocking) became a household staple known for its "Oven-Proof" borosilicate and tempered glass. While Fire-King is famous for its Jadeite and Milk Glass, their clear "Crystal" line—specifically unique figural shapes like this large fish—is highly sought after by collectors of maritime decor and vintage kitchenware. Finding the large 15-inch version is becoming increasingly difficult as many have been lost to kitchen mishaps over the decades.
