Breakfast Set Jadeite Dishes: Fire-King Pattern Guide

Fire-King Jadeite Dishes - Breakfast Set Pattern

How to Identify the Fire-King Breakfast Set Design

The Breakfast Set shares several of the same pieces from the 1700 Line including the 9 ⅛” dinner plate, the St. Denis Cup, and St. Denis saucer.

The Jadeite dishes unique to the Breakfast Set are the egg cup, milk pitcher, and 5” cereal bowl.

Breakfast Set Jadeite dishes have a plain design and are thinner than heavy Restaurant Ware dishes.

The 16 oz 5” bowl is about ¼” taller and thinner with a wider flatter bottom compared to the standard 5” cereal bowl.

Decorated breakfast bowls with an ivy design have been spotted in the Breakfast Set as well, however these are extremely rare to find for sale.

Collector’s Notes on Breakfast Set Fire-King Jadeite Dishes

You’ll find the Breakfast Set difficult to collect because it had a short production run of only 2 years and there aren’t many pieces in the set.

Even though the Restaurant Ware dinner plate is heavier and appears to be better made than the 1700 Line/Breakfast Set dinner plate, the 1700 Line/Breakfast Set dinner plate is worth more because there were not as many made.

The 5” cereal bowl is also hard to find, and we are still looking for one to complete our set.

Writing these articles takes some fuel, and let’s be realistic; regular Jadeite cups are just not big enough for morning coffee. So we like to use the milk pitcher from the Breakfast Set for a good size portion instead!

The milk pitcher also comes decorated with beaded swirls and is much harder to find than the plain milk pitcher. It’s referred to as the “Bead and Bar” pitcher by collectors.

In 1954, the 21-piece Heatproof Breakfast Set which included 4 cups, 4 saucers, 4 cereal bowls, 4 plates, 4 double egg cups and 1 milk pitcher, sold for $2.98!
