I just wanted to pop in today and share my latest find. It's not Pyrex, but Fire King. (Hey, all us milk glass fanatics got to stick together, right?)
Maybe it's heresy around these parts, but besides Pyrex, I do collect a couple Fire King patterns. I'm particularly partial to the hand painted ones, like Peach Blossom- so dreamy mixed with pink Pyrex and jadeite...sigh...
Anyway!
I had a few moments to spare yesterday on my way to work, so decided to stop at a thrift store on the way in. Boy am I glad I did!
In the Halloween rack I found a pair of mens shoes from the 1890s. (Check out my blog for pix of those!)
And then in the housewares section, I happened across one of the more desirable Fire King items yesterday- a Colonial Bands lidded grease jar (think Pyrex Stripes), and wanted to share it with you all:
So what do you guys think- can Pyrex and Fire King (and Glassbake, etc..) coexist, or do you stick to just one brand?
