More Fire King.....

Although this may be confusing, I recieved this Platter from my Step Mother in Law. She is also an avid Op Shopper and is on the look out for any Fire King for me...

This is not very clear but its Fire King, Made in USA Anchor Hocking....

The Platter has little feet on the bottom of it......

It is Milk Glass with a gold edge.. I have tried to find out more about it but it isn't in my Fire King book and I had no luck on the internet. I have decided it is a 'Fish Platter'... It is another great addition to my collection.

I have finally organised my Market Stall at The Mill Market at the Ballarat Wool Shed. I hope to load some photos monday night. So at Chez Essess all systems are go!

New Piece of Fire King..........

This book has been my constant companion since recieving it as a gift at Christmas. It is called: Anchor Hocking's Fire King Identification and Value guide Third Edition....

If you have an interest in a certain collectable, its great to have a book to give you the history, identification and values by your side!!!

Todays page was opened at Anniversary Rose 1964-1965....



Obviously they were manufactured with a rose decal and gold trim. The book states they were only manufactured for two years and so are in short supply.

My mum found me this Creamer from a little Op Shop in Inverleigh, it is alittle worn but still has the gold trim which is great.

I love finding new pieces with designs that I have not found previously. If I find and buy one piece then I usually end up with a few pieces of the same design.....

The book is great to identify which design is what and values the pieces in US dollars.....

I love Fire King and am currently filling my second cabinet in my Dining room with more Fire King........

Fire King (Love it...)

This is my Favourite Cabinet in my front Loungeroom, filled with my Fire King (Anchor Hocking U.S.A.) collection thus far!! Mostly Peach Lustre and some Milk glass... Four Clear glass Fire King jugs...

This is by far my favourite item to collect, and hopefully 2010 will be great for finding more pieces...

I recieved this book for Xmas from Mr S's Aunt. It is a great read and hopefully I will be able to find some Jadeite pieces..?

I have been busy this year and haven't blogged as much as I would like... But New Year brings new possibilities so fingers crossed I will be more organised!

I have been busy collecting all sorts of pieces from the 50s 60s and 70s, planning on having a stall at the Mill Market at the Ballarat Woolshed. Its full of antiques and collectibles.....

Mr S even bought me a van for transporting the retro furniture I have to the market.

When I am set up I will be able to tell you more... But this is my priority for 2010.... Heres hoping it all works out...

Happy New Year to everyone!!!!
