Bright red apples on Glasbake — the third great American heat-resistant glass brand, and the most underrated.
Everyone knows Pyrex and Fire King. Fewer people know Glasbake, which McKee Glass introduced as early as 1917 and produced in beloved fruit and floral patterns through the mid-20th century. This mug carries a bold red apple motif and is embossed on the base "Heat-Resistant, Glasbake, 17" — dating it to the 1951–1961 McKee/Thatcher era. The apple decal has one fine line that appears to be a manufacturing flaw, photographed for your review. Otherwise in very good vintage condition. Hand wash to protect the design.
A great find for a Glasbake or McKee collector, a farmhouse or cottagecore kitchen, or anyone who likes their morning coffee in something with a history.
