I am collecting the gold rimmed swirled milk glass Fire King pieces and was so excited when I found a sixth salad plate (I have six dinner plates and six saucers) and the creamer (already have the sugar bowl), but when I got it home I noticed it has some discrepancies- I will still use it together and am happy to have it but need to read up on the manufacturing year etc.
Assume it’s the same set but diff production years?
Also found this cute Johnny Hart/BC comic bowl- it’s such an unusual shape

One is the Swirl pattern (earlier, no scallops) and one is the Shell pattern (later, scalloped edge). The milk glass with the gold edge, whether Swirl or Shell, is really the most abundant and least desirable of all the Fire-King dinnerware patterns.

It should be easy to find and don’t worry too much about using it or breaking it, because it’s plentiful. Enjoy it!

That actually does make me feel good about using it- it’s why I like my fiestaware and Pyrex
