Up for auction is an Anchor Hocking Glass Company, Fire-King Oven Ware Line, Red Dot, Polka Dot Mixing Bowl in Excellent Plus Condition. This Fire-King Bowl has no chips, cracks or rough spots of any kind and I can see only a few very light scratches that do not show up unless you turn the bowl under a light until you can see them. This is a real Fire-King bowl, not a reproduction and the bottom is fully marked with the word Fire-King in between the words "Oven" and "Ware". Under the word ware is the number "19" and then below that it reads "Made In USA". This bowl is about 4 1/8 inches tall and the base is about 2 5/8 inches in diameter. Across the top it measures about 5 5/8 inches and it has a reenforced rim, so the actual inside measurement is about 5 1/8 inches in diameter and it weighs almost 3/4 of a pound at 11.9 ounces exactly. I have now near the knowledge about glassware as I do about pottery or porcelain wares, but I believe this red polka dot pattern with its large red dots became popular in the 1940's and it has become a highly desirable collectible today. This bowl is in excellent shape with very little or no fading of the red dots and pictures, 9, 10, and 11 are to show you any dots that are worn a bit. Please note that it turned out to be only the vertical rows of 3 red dots that had to be photographed for small read more
