I've got a place where I could fill 2 shopping buggies with mugs(a lot of vintage) for 10 cents each.I've always gone for the milk glass Anchor Hocking, Fire King or Hazel Atlas but I guess I'll have to go shopping.

So what did you do when your cup of coffee (or anything else) became cold and unappetizing too soon? Put it in the oven. I think "oven proof" may have actually meant "husband proof." But I can remember my parents doing this, or pouring their cup of coffee in a pan on the stove to warm it up. Yes, they were that frugal. Works for soups too. I've also seen desserts baked in them (think ramekin before Americans knew what a ramekin was).Stacynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6668802457367853649.post-31405195536797809062012-04-21T07:36:02.310-05:002012-04-21T07:36:02.310-05:00I never would have guessed that was a warming base...I never would have guessed that was a warming base. Not looking for numbers but is there much return on coffee mugs. I see boatloads of vintage mugs and always pass them up never thinking of them as an investment.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13646463582447530152noreply@blogger.com
