Vintage Vitrock Kitchen Set — Salt & Pepper, Grease Jar & Bowl

This vintage 4-piece Vitrock kitchenware set, attributed to Anchor Hocking's Fire-King line, dates to the 1930s–1940s. Crafted from white opaque milk glass, the set includes salt and pepper shakers, a grease jar with a ceramic lid, and a large mixing bowl. Each piece features molded forms with vivid Art Deco-style red and black accents.

Notably, the glass exhibits slight UV-reactivity, glowing under blacklight—a characteristic of certain vintage glass formulations from this era. The jars display ribbed sides and cheerful red potted plant motifs, while the mixing bowl is accented with bold red and black striping.

This set exemplifies the blend of functionality and style characteristic of Depression-era kitchenware, making it a desirable addition for collectors and enthusiasts of vintage glassware.

🧪 UV Reactivity

The slight glow under UV light suggests the presence of trace elements like uranium oxide, commonly used in glass production during the early to mid-20th century. This characteristic is typical of certain Vitrock pieces from this era, adding to their collectible appeal.

Condition

In good condition overall, with age-appropriate wear. The mixing bowl shows surface scuffing but no cracks or chips. Shaker lids exhibit oxidation, consistent with age and use. Graphics and striping remain vibrant, and the set retains excellent structural integrity. All pieces are lightly UV-reactive, confirming period glass formulation.
