Fire King is hot at the mall.

Go figure. Most of the buyers are from Japan. Had to open a case for 4 different people to look at 2 Fire King Snoopy coffee cups in one day. One with a small chip on rime sold for $14. The other had a stain and didn't sell. Fire King in white seems the hottest right now.

Other stuff. South West jewelry, machinist tools, lunch boxes and old 45 records. Really shocked at all the big ticket items, a grand and over, that sell everyday.

A white Fire King, Burger King coffee cup was up over $40. Looks like lots of bids on Fire King Jadeite too.

Hit those sales this weekend.

I usually pass over fire king when I see it at a thrift store. And I often do seen it. Usually one or two pieces at a time.

She loves the stuff. And when that happened, other things were affected, too, such as the mid-century linens that have jadeite in the pattern colors.

For some reason people love it . . . especially the Pyrex primary color bowls.

It seems to have fallen out of favor in my neck of the woods.
