Jadeite - green with envy

Jadeite is made of milk glass (1930s). It was made by three primary companies: McKee, Jeannette, or Anchor Hocking. Look for the identifying imprint: McKee has the letters McK on the bottom. Jeanette has the letter J in a triangle, and Anchor Hocking will have Fire King Oven Glass imprinted on the piece. Not every piece was branded. Some were promotional pieces and others just didn’t get branded. Older Jadeite glows in the dark. as uranium was used in the process until WWII & made them glow.
