• Details:  This casserole dish / baking pan is extremely useful and Fire King is highly collectible.  If you're a collector, you'll be interested to know that based on the logo, as well as the design, and the fact that it says "ovenware" and not "oven proof", this piece can be dated to the late 1960's.  Since this pattern, Meadow Green was started in 1968, and "oven proof" was started in the mid-1970's we can narrow this dish down to between 1968 and 1974.  Fire King glassware was produced by Anchor Hocking, made of silky smooth milk glass with a very pretty luster.  Did you know these are not dishwasher safe?  They could lose their beautiful luster if put through the dishwasher, actually you should not put any Fire King pieces in the dishwasher.  The bottom is embossed:  "435 Anchor Hocking (with the logo), Fire King, Ovenware, 16, Made in USA, 8 in".

Anchor Hocking first introduced the Fire King dinnerware and glassware products in 1942 in Lancaster, Ohio.   Anchor Hocking was trying to get into a new market of affordable and beautiful cookware and with this new line of ovenproof, low-cost, low-expansion borosilicate glassware, products, they hit the jackpot. The company branded their new line of ‘classic-American’ glassware pieces as “Fire King,” and the rest is history.  People have been using and collecting their modern, mid-century designs since the very beginning.  There's a wide variety of styles, colors, sizes and shapes available, all highly durable which made Fire King a household name.  Production of this brand ended in 1976.  New Fire King is being made, marked "Fire King 2000", it is no longer made of borosilicate glass, now they use tempered soda-lime-silicate glass.
