Fire King Splashproof
Kitchen Aides
Fire King was made by Anchor Hocking. Anchor
Hocking began making Fire King in approximately 1942 and continue until 1976. Today
it is one of the most collected lines of glassware. It was made in a myriad of
colors and patterns. The Splashproof line was introduced in the 1950's. It was
made in ivory, anchorwhite, jadite, turquoise and various designs on white, anchorwhite
and ivory backgrounds. There are six patterns in Splashproof: Apples, Black
Dots, Kitchen Aides (rolling pin, egg beater, peeler, etc., Modern Tulips, Red Dots and
Tulips. The bowls below are "Spags" bowls which used the "Kitchen
Aides" motif and were made for a discount supermarket/grocery store. They were
made both in the regular bowl shown in the photo below and there's an
"anniversary" bowl which has the dates for 25 years of operation. We
generally refer to Anchorwhite as off-white and ivory as cream. For more information
on Fire King please check out the books Anchor Hocking's Fire King & More by
Gene Florence and A collector's Guide to Anchor Hocking's Fire King Glassware by
Garry & Dale Kilgo and Jerry & Gail Wilkins. Both books are excellent with
super photos.
