Jadite

Green milk glass aka jadite is very collectible right now.

Jadite was manufactured by several companies from the 1930’s to 1972.

McKee was the first to first mass-produce jadite dinnerware in the '30s. It can be identified by a "McK" in a small circle on the back.

The Jeannette Glass Company was the first to call it jadite. Most is unmarked, except for some of the first pieces, which have the letter "J" in a triangle, followed by the mold number.

The Anchor Hocking Company produced Fire-King to withstand the high temperatures of ovens and stoves. "Jade-ite" was one of their best selling colors. It was popular for institutional use in restaurants, hotels, and hospitals.

Jadite is very durable and dishwasher safe. However, repeated trips though the dishwasher may slightly dull the finish. Never microwave your jadite.
