Alice Jadeite Dishes: Fire-King Pattern Identification Guide

Fire-King Jadeite Dishes - Alice Pattern Identification Guide

How to Identify the Fire-King Alice Design

The outer ridge of the Alice dinner plate and saucer has a small notched border, followed by a beautiful repeating floral design. 

The inner ridge has a Jane Ray style rayed border. 

There are small notches around the edge of both the saucer and dinner plates that you can feel if you run your fingers across.

The Alice cup features the floral design around the outside of the cup, with the Jane Ray style rayed border around the bottom.

Collector’s Notes on Alice Fire-King Jadeite Dishes

In 1945, Anchor Hocking introduced “Alice” as the first Fire-King Jadeite dish pattern ever made.

In its first year of production, the Alice cups and saucers were given away as a freebie with the purchase of bags of Quaker Oats and Crystal Wedding Oats.

Because the cups and saucers were given away for free, they are more commonly found today. The dinner plate is much harder to find, as consumers had to purchase it separately to complete their Alice dinnerware set.
