Next up,FireKing's'Gay Fad's'in Milk Glass!Coming Soon! Ok guy's,here we go!Before I start,I'd like to remind you that I am Not an expert,and that most of this is just my own personal opinion!What do You know about Gay Fad Studeo's?Me,not much,but I'm trying to learn,because when I bought my first[and only so far]piece,I had no idea what it was other than something I thought must have been amazing in it's day and had a great story to tell!This lonley little Milk Glass Bowl was missing most of it's paint,but you could still tell that it was some sort of Fruit!But since it was Milk Glass,I bought it!You see,I love anything Milk Glass,because I see such history in it and know it could tell a great story!And I love a great story!I do know that Gay Fad Studeo's was located across the street from Anchor Hocking's main Plant and each piece was Hand Painted FireKing Ware,making each piece so unique!There are many pattern's of Gay Fad,but Fruit and Peach Blossom seem to be the mainstay's.You have your Regular fruit and your Out lined Fruit,which consist's of an Apple and a BlueBerry!The Peach Blossom Was in the 1954 to 1955 catalog and has also been called Dogwood or AppleBlossom,but the Peach Blossom has 5 Petal's,wheras the Dogwood and Apple Blossom only have 4.The Peach blossom can also be found on Federal and Hazel Atlas Glass!All are easy to recognize once you start to notice them!You can also find Yellow Rose[self explanatory!]and Poinsettia,which is a large Red Flower,then there is also PineCone[also self explanatory!]Then you have the Dutch Tulip,consisting of a Red tulip center with Yellow on either side and Green Foliage.The last one that I know of is the'Distlefink'of which I have No idea where that name came from!It is a Lavender/Blue Bird on Brown Vine's with green leave's and an Orangy/Red Bird on Yellow with Red Heart Shape Fruit.The Yellow Rose and Poinsettia can also be found on Ivory and Satanized Crystal!The sad thing about Gay Fad is that it is all too easily worn off and Chipped,so if you are lucky enough to have a piece or more ,Please,take special care and wash with a very mild detergent and don't scrub!And please No Dishwasher's Allowed!!!So I hope you were able to learn a little something from this,and I sure hope you will add anything you know here also!I would Greatly appreciate any and all comment's!And as alway's,Happy Hunting while your out there!!!
