On a recent trip to Tokyo we were delighted by the bright 60's-style mugs that seemed to be cropping up in all the cutest boutiques. It turns out they are Fire-King mugs from the Anchor Hocking brand (the same company that makes the "Jadite" Martha Stewart covets so), and were made right here in the US!
My parents had those white ones... front and center!
Who knew they'd be classics.

My Grandma still has a ton of these. Must raid her kitchen!

...and they have (had) "Davy Crockett" mugs and bowls too!
Thank you Walt Disney!

I've been collecting Fire-King since I was in college, when a boyfriend got me hooked. Love the turquoise blue and the endless array of ramekins!

I scored 12 white ones for a few bucks last summer when a local resturant closed. I love them

I've been collecting fire king mugs for years too. Weirdly enough, my favorites are the McDonalds "Good Morning" mugs that they used to actually use in the restaurants instead of disposable paper ones! My guess especially love to use them when they stay over.
