I believe my oldest few are from the 50’s and are labeled simply “OVEN/Fire King/WARE”, centered and stacked vertically, with more of an ivory glass tone. That orange stackable one I linked is terrible in pretty much every respect except for being the ugly friend to the others, truth be told.įor what it’s worth, my d-handle mugs are from two clearly different molds and eras. Glasbake used an almost identical mold also, maybe 1oz larger. I love the smaller size/volume compared to something like modern stoneware. My absolute favorite to actually use are the d-handle mugs. I wasn’t thinking I’d be able to put food in them I was just kind of hoping I would be able to use them as non-food storage. I also found a ton of vintage Tupperware that I’ve learned is toxic no matter what. When you tested yours, did you just rub it against the clean glass or did you do anything else? I ordered some lead tests to come in the mail so I think what I’m going to do is scrape a couple very nondescript spots on the mugs and test them. I’m not really interested in selling any of these things I just wanna make sure they’re functional. So they could be the year or location where they were made. They also each have a number in the stamp but I haven’t found any info on how to interpret that, I’ve only seen statements saying that those numbers don’t add any monetary value. The all orange mug has the same stamp as the one you sent but the hombre mugs say “oven-proof” where yours says “ware”. Then I found a pair of orange AH mugs with brown ombre on top and D arms (saw that online). I went to the Goodwill outlet and found the Pyrex with one all orange mug that has a C (not sure if that’s the right way to reference it) shaped arm but it has less detail than the one you linked. I need to get it tested, luckily I’ve never used it. Yeah, I just found out about the wine decanter thing today and I actually got one of those passed down to me by my grandma. I’ve also included a link to the catalogs, they were fun to look at and helped me out a lot. I appreciate anyone’s help on this and thank you if you read all of that and are still here. There has to be someone who knows if this is safe to use since we know when this was produced. Every website I’ve looked at has referred me to some blog called “lead free mommy” and she never tested what I have. What I need to know is if this ovenware piece is still safe to use or if it contains higher levels of lead than what is currently considered safe. I was just hoping that information would help me answer my question. I’ve already spent about two hours researching the difference between the old glass and the new soda lime glass that has potential to explode due to drastic temp changes and that’s not what my concern is. The catalog I saw was titled “Corning Products” but on the page where I found the item lists Pyrex products. I recently purchased a piece of ovenware that, from looking at archived dealer catalogs, I believe is the fireside edition of the oblong baking dish, item number 232, that was introduced in 1978.
