Know before you buy
Yes, this is made from food-grade milk glass, which is a non-porous material. It is perfectly safe for serving fruits, salads, or other cold food items.
To preserve the finish and the grapevine pattern, we recommend hand washing with mild soap and warm water. Avoid using harsh abrasive scrubbers or high-heat dishwasher cycles, which can cause the glass to dull or the pattern to fade over time.
The footed base is designed for stability and provides a solid foundation for the bowl. It is well-balanced and capable of holding a standard amount of fruit, such as apples or oranges, without tipping.
We do not recommend using this vintage piece in the microwave or oven. Sudden temperature changes can cause thermal shock, which may lead to cracking or damage to the vintage glass.
As a vintage item, you may notice minor surface wear, such as light utensil marks or slight fading of the pattern consistent with its age. These characteristics are typical of authentic Fire King milk glass and add to its retro appeal.
