Sweet little Fire King 1950s pink, white with gold trim chili bowl.
The pink graduating to white coloring is affectionately called ‘Cotton Candy’ by Fire-King collectors. Fire-King called the pink color ‘rose-ite’.
This bowl has a thickly applied gold rim. The gold is 98% present, highly unusual since it is at least over 60 years old. The bowl is in near perfect condition with the only sign of age is the slight wear to the gold mention.
Measures 5″ wide and 2¼” tall. Marked on the base; Fire-King Ovenware 20, Made in the U.S.A..
Fire King 1950s glass was made with borosilicate which made it extremely sturdy. Today’s Fire-King glass is made in Brazil with tempered soda-lime-silicate glass producing a much less dense glass susceptable to leaching, scratching and breaking, and it doesn’t distribute heat as well as original vintage/antique Fire-King made in the USA by Anchor Hocking.
Very hard to find. Fill it with something sweet and it’s a perfect gift for your favorite FireKing enthusiast.
