Charm Jadeite Dishes: Fire-King Pattern Identification Guide

Fire-King Charm Jadeite Dishes Pattern Identification Guide

How to Identify the Fire-King Charm Design

Charm is the only square shaped pattern of Jadeite dishes and is easy to identify. Charm’s timeless design makes them very desired by collectors, and pricier than other Jadeite patterns.

The bottom of the plates have a “Jane Ray” style rayed border around the base, with a plain center. ( Picture coming soon.)

Collector’s Notes on Charm Fire-King Jadeite Dishes

Charm Jadeite dishes were only produced for 4 or 6 years. Compared to the long run of other patterns like Jane Ray (18 years), the short production time for this pattern makes it harder to find. “It’s new, it’s different – and practical, too!” a newspaper ad claims from 1949.

Choose “Jade-ite for Charm and Color”. A modern 16-piece luncheon set with service for four, including 4 plates, 4 cups, 4 saucers and 4 utility bowls. The 16-piece Charm luncheon set sold for $1.98 in 1949.

Consumers had to purchase the 7 ⅜” salad bowl separately to complete the set. This makes them harder to find today. The 11” x 8” platter is the rarest and most coveted piece from this pattern by collectors and is hard to find. They are rare and don’t come up often for sale on eBay. Only two Jadeite Charm platters were listed on eBay in the last 3 months when I checked in May, 2022.

Some Charm Jadeite dishes even featured hand-painted designs and can occasionally be found on eBay.

If you are wanting to collect this pattern, we recommend setting up a Saved Search on eBay to receive email alerts of new listings, as some Jadeite dishes in this set do not come up for sale very often.

Fire-King Markings for Charm Jadeite Dishes

Most Charm dishes are unmarked, however the ones that are will have the “OVEN Fire-King GLASS” trademark which was used from 1948 to 1950.

“MADE IN THE U.S.A” started to be added to some Fire-King patterns in the 1950s, but as far as we know, this wasn’t featured on the Charm pattern.
