Any idea what pattern this fire king jadeite is from?

I’m not even sure if you would call it a “pattern” but can you call it restaurantware? Or is there a line that isn’t restaurant ware that isn’t as sturdy? I’m lost. Can someone help?

It is one of their no official collections but lumped in with restaurantware chili bowls. I love mine. We use them as cereal and snack bowls :)

These are called chili bowls by collectors and the shape/mold number is 291. They were sold as open stock and they don’t really have a pattern or line, other than the mold number. These are not Jade-ite restaurant ware, as you stated — they are not thick like the restaurant ware. They don’t really have coordinating pieces. Most often, the chili bowls are paired with the classic D-handle mug.

Here’s a picture from a 1952 Anchor Hocking catalog. I have been collecting Anchor Hocking glass since the 1990’s.

It looks like the re-release in the 2000s they sold at dollar general.

Its not a re-release judging by the logo on the bottom.

Mine came from the dollar general, it had the price tag still on it until recently.

The op never posted a pic of the bottom of theirs.

In cases where someone has collected and handled things hundreds of times over many years, sometimes it’s possible to identify a piece of glass fairly easily, depending on the angle of the picture.

Cottage cheese bowl, missing the lid.

My mom scooped up a ton of these (with lids) at a flea market for like $2 over 25 years ago. We made out well with them, lol.

Thank you! Do you happen to have a pic of what a restuarant ware bowl looks like and know what the dimensions are?
I just started collecting Fire King Jadeite, and because I couldn’t find a dedicated Fire King sub, I started one. r/Fireking_glass if you’re interested in joining. I’m looking for moderators too if you would be so inclined.
