Know before you buy
These mugs are made from the durable, heat-resistant glass Fire King is known for, so they are perfectly functional for daily use. However, because they are vintage items, we recommend hand-washing them to preserve the integrity of the patriotic design.
While the exact capacity is not specified, these mugs typically hold between 8 and 10 ounces, which is standard for vintage coffee glassware of this style.
To keep the glass in top condition, avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh detergents that could scratch the surface or fade the colors. Hand-washing with mild soap and warm water is the best way to maintain their finish.
We advise against using these in the dishwasher or microwave. The high heat and intense cycles can cause vintage glass to crack or lead to the premature wearing of the decorative patriotic finish.
Authentic Fire King Anchor Hocking pieces usually feature a maker's mark embossed on the bottom of the glass. Check the base of your mugs for this stamp, which is a hallmark of their vintage production.
