Featured Fire King Jadeite Mugs

I bought 3 mugs today. 2 are a pair 1 is different. Need some clarification. 1st is the single. Pretty sure it is a coffee mug. Base mark looks 1940's. 2 pic is the pair.. pair is thick but not as thick as the restaurant ware mug. Not sure what to call the pair.

Hi to me they are all restaurant ware coffee cups. They would have had a saucer under them normally but will sell sans saucers, One may hold more or less liquid than the other 2 and the measurements may be different.
People love these cups as long as they are in mint shape.

If you do sell them online, be sure to note that these are not BIG coffee cups like we have now and put a soda can or something that can show scale.

I had a lady buy similar cup and saucer from me a few years ago and she was shocked it was so small. But realized we live in a super sized world now so she did not blame me. She gave the cup and saucer to her daughter to play with (which I would not advise since it is glass) because she viewed the size as a child's toy.

 

Pearls. The pair may be from the 70's. The single I think is 1940's. Thank you for the help.

 

I always found the best way to photograph a raised mark on glass was to have strong glare playing over it.

 

Thanks MOS, taking a good photo of the mark has always been very hard for me.
You are a natural when it comes to taking photos.

 

Book, that site was hard to find my exact mark. This site is good for patterns and mug shapes.

one thing that hasnt been mentioned is to start with the shape of the handle. Yours are "C" shaped, most of the others are "D shape." So I would do a search for "C shape" fire king, jadeite, and you have this:

then start to carefully read about the size information and/or the chocolate/coffee designation
