Last month my friend Sherry at Back2 Vintage did a post called Sapphire Blue. As I'm reading her post, I think to myself...I have some pieces of that I think. I took photos and emailed them to Sherry and she said...yes I do have 3 pieces of Sapphire Blue Fire-King!
As you can see it is clear glass with a blue tint to it.
Sherry said this piece would have had a lid...something to keep an eye out for while thrifting
This is a measuring bowl and one of my favorite pieces.
I love the shape and the handles
I found this pie plate a few months ago
I love this pattern called 'Philbe'
All of these pieces were under $1 each
Thank you so much Sherry.
I hope you check out her post as she is very knowledgeable about so many antiques and collectibles
I have learned a lot from her!

I love that mixing bowl. I picked up some pieces at the auction I recently went too.
Your pieces are beautiful Linda, I love the detail:@)
Sapphire blue is very unique - and you got those pieces for less than a $1 a piece - you did good!
Love your Fire King ~ I collect it too ;-)
Those pieces are very nice. I do not recall ever seeing them around. Will make you a nice collection.
Great pieces! I love the soft blue color.
Isn't it fun to discover that something you loved and purchased is significant!
These pieces are beautiful. I don't remember ever seeing Fire King. I can't believe these pieces were only $1! xo,
You are a thrifty queen, Linda. Oh boy, if we lived closer, we'd have fun. Susan
I have a few of these and really do treasure them. I love the detail of the pattern.

Wow!!! I LOVE that Fire King.
I have two little pieces of gold Fire King, but I like your blue better!
I have a couple of pieces like this and they are real treasures!!
Hugs,

The Blog world is a fabulous place to learn, isn't it? I'm always astounded by the things people teach in their posts. These dishes are very pretty...but so is everything you have!! :)
Thanks for the shout-out, Linda!!! I'm so proud that you discovered some Sapphire Blue in your vast collection of glassware. I'm envious of the measuring bowl and the price you paid is unbelieveable! I found a SB pie plate just yesterday and I had to pay $2! You are the Thrift Queen!!!
How many times have I seen that bluish tinted glass ware and thought it must be depression glass? Can't count. Now that I know it's Fire King (thanks to you and Sherry) will give it a second look.
I remember Sherry's post about thesed. They are so pretty. I need to keep my eye out for them!
Hi Linda! Oh, this is such a pretty pattern. I don't think I've ever seen the blue! Now you've got me wanting some Fire King! Shoot! :)
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
wow, i've never seen pieces like that, with that design on the bottom. they're gorgeous! and for a dollar, aw man!
How pretty that is, Linda. I don't think I've ever seen that pattern. Love the sapphire blue hint. You take care now, ya hear? :D
I love the pattern, I would have picked these up also, especially for the price! Oh, and the blue is so coastal!
I've been going to some garage sales in my new neighborhood and the prices are GREAT! Most of them seem to be folks who are just clearing stuff out, not generating a needed income. Works out great for me and others!
These are so light and pretty; love the subtle color. I found a lid at a yard sale recently thinking it might be sapphire blue, but it was too dark.
I love the scroll pattern on the bottom of the bowl. It is so pretty! I could see it stenciled on a ceiling or something! Thanks for sharing!
Very pretty! Yesterday I was looking at some sapphire blue Fire King and today I saw a "roaster" like yours on ebay. It had the lid as well as a trivet and is selling for almost $60!

such a pretty color and pattern... i'd never even heard of Fireking. Wonder if there's any way to use the plate as a stamp and then clean it up again?
Oh wow! I love that measuring bowl! I can see why it's your favorite!
Your Fire King pattern is beautiful. I've never seen this pattern before. Great finds.
