Vintage Fire-King Custards for Creams & Soaps

[e d o]

I just got 6 of these in the mail today via ebay. They are a nice size for cream lathering and pretty good for soap storage. They made plastic lids for them too. I didn't get any lids but found the plastic lids for Ovaltine and Swiss Miss fit perfectly. The ones I got are unmarked and not Fire-King but very similar. The rim flares out a bit more which in my opinion make them more attractive. I believe Hazel Atlas made them too. Eventually Anchor Hocking stopped branding glassware as Fire-King and just Anchor Glass or Anchor Hocking. Mine are white milk glass but Jadite is also and option and might be nice for lime & mint soaps. Fire-King Jadite is pretty collectable and fetches more than the white stuff but the milk glass is abundant, cheap and readily available at thrift shops. Anyone else use these?
