Fire king Blue Philbe

[sugarcube5419]

this much I have down

but I can't find this piece-what would the piece be used for?  It looks like a small cake plate holder=vintage?

How big is it?

[sugarcube5419]

hi ice

its 8 inches across and almost 5" tall

really pretty

[cogar]

The wife said it is not listed in her Fire King book.

So its either a rare piece, a new piece or a repro.

OOPS, ..... now I wasa justa thinking, ..... that pedestal looks kinda odd ta me ta being Fire King.

That isn't per chance a FK pie plate that someone glued to that pedestal, ... is it?

[sugarcube5419]

mega watt bright light by cogar and his wife....a very apparent glue by the top-

crap

[mart]

I looked for that two hours yesterday !! Found the top but no pedestal !!  Forgot about all the crafters "creating" stuff !! But,, it would look good with some candy in it !!

[sugarcube5419]

they actually did a great job with the glue-just is obvious when you are looking for it-

and by the way fire king should consider the style, here I have it hold banana/s fruit to those handy 8" pies I buy.

thanks for everybodys time

I looked and looked for that as well.  I was coming to the same conclusion.

With Pinterest/Upcycling going rampant, you are going to see more and more pieces like this married!

I do like it.  Would be wary about what goes in it (toppling).  But some light, crunchy cookies would do just fine!

A friend of mine used to pick up odd candlesticks at garage sales and small vintage dishes and make these !! She used a clear silicone adhesive same as glass companies use to glue the edges together for showcases !! It was almost invisible !! She hung chandelier prisms on some of the lace edge dishes !! They were inexpensive to make and she filled them with candy for Christmas gifts !!

The big craze is to not only make them for tiered plates...but to make them for gardens!!!!

Like these bird feeders

[KC]

And don't forget the milk glass....Totems are really popular!

[sugarcube5419]

lots of high class birds eating out of these bird feeders

anything that helps our wildlife....

but I'm keepin my apple pie on mine.

I could not find it in my depression glass book. Your library might have a copy of Gene Florence's anchor hocking fire king & candle sticks book

[sugarcube5419]

thanks pelady for taking your time on it.....still can't get over the bird feeders myself--isn't the item worth more than a pretty bird feeder/yes I love birds but they will eat out of a bucket!
